That is a good question. I think the easy answer would be is some people are not ready for a President of color. George also had the reputation of his Dad to prop him up. I think his father is not very proud of him.......
You're right. That's why most republicans wanted Colin Powell (He's black ya know) to run for President before any knew of Obama. Because they are racists. LOLs.
Bush didn't try to transform America into his radical, liberal image like obama is doing.
Nah instead he and his good ole boys just raped the country for everything we have....the minute the Iraq WAR turned sour the GOP and their good buddies aka (big business) started an all out war on middle america to squeeze everything they could out of us because they knew their chances of re-electing a REP president was out of the question.
For the last 2 years of GWB's term, his approval rating hovered around or was lower than 40%. Toward the end it got down to around 27%. Obama's is significantly higher at 51% currently.
Is this an apples to apples comparison?
Comparing one's start with another's finish is ludicrous. Further.... what polls? The same one for these numbers?

You're having difficulty comprehending the question.
Compare the reaction of the 73% who didn't approve of Bush toward the end of his presidency to the 49% who disapprove of Obama now. Where were all the bricks, threats and revolutionary rhetoric?
Is it just that those people who disapproved of Bush have too much respect for our democratic process to try to circumvent it by revolting?

The left was calling for secession in some parts under Bush.

I guess at the time, we probably just figured there was enough violence coming from the administration as it was.
Don't forget the ASSASSINATE BUSH bumper stickers, do that now with Obamas name and you are called a racist.
Oh heavens no, I'd never call you a racist for that. I'd just call you a sociopath.
Personally, I was horrified by the "assassinate Bush" stuff...I did see that at the time...I can't believe anybody would, even in "jest" (if you can call that jest), encourage the assassination of a U.S. president.
