I, like most others here don't hate the president. I do hate his policies especially regarding social issues like gay marriage, slashing of veteran benefits, destroying american labor laws (overtime), taking away civil rights and every environmental issue he has ever tackled.
Roads through our national forests, gutting New Source Review, cutting back clean water and clean air act regulations, allowing mercury levels to rise to 3 times their current levels...
(there are plenty more but these are off the top of my head right now.)
I am getting afraid for our future for several specific reasons and I admit that I am finding it possible to hate him. But only for the very specific criteria I outlined in
THis thread. All stemming from what I perceive now as incompetence of office allowing another easily preventable attack from happening.
If I met him today I would be respectful for him, his position and his office.
