Why do so many people dislike Obama?

One word: Racism. It is alive and well in that 3rd world nation of willful morons properly known as the United Stupid of Murrica.

But now the shoe is on the other foot: Obama faces trash talk left, right and center – literally – and doesn't deserve it. Despite bitter opposition, despite having come close to self-inflicted disaster, Obama has emerged as one of the most consequential and, yes, successful presidents in American history. His health reform is imperfect but still a huge step forward – and it's working better than anyone expected. Financial reform fell far short of what should have happened, but it's much more effective than you'd think. Economic management has been half-crippled by Republican obstruction, but has nonetheless been much better than in other advanced countries. And environmental policy is starting to look like it could be a major legacy.

Just as many people who disliked Bush, dislike Obama. In politics, there are always conflicting views and people who think their ideas are better suited to fix a problem. As many different people there are in the US are as many different ways things can be done. So, with that said, the Americans who chose Obama chose the lesser of two evils between Mit Romney and Barack Obama. I promise you that our next President Elect will be hated just as much as Obama, Bush Jr. and all those presidents prior. It kinda comes with the territory of being in management and humans nature is to be indecisive. Not every one will be content with his decisions. :-(

Its all Bush's fault. Especially the past 2 years.

that's not knowledge, that's called an opinion, and while it's lovely that you aren't afraid to voice it, don't broadcast it unless asked. please. it's offensive to me as another human being to know that people like you exist and make us seem like we're all like you. it's pitiful and disgusting. so goodbye, and please do find a way to keep your ******* mouth shut.

well, since you're such a shallow person, let me put this in words you will understand. if you discriminate against a racial group because they "smell and are ugly", then you're not worth anyone's time. if you're that sheltered and that much of a judgmental human being, then don't bother opening your mouth because you dont seem to have anything intelligent to contribute.

Just the victims of the right-wing propaganda machine. The rest of Americans have a more rational view of him and his presidency.

Unknown.

I kind of like him, becausey grandmother liked him at the begining of his 'career'

They dislike him because him because his is a narcissistic sociopath who has proven himself to be totally incompetent to do the job he has. Note that this has nothing to do with race. Does it bother you at all that you are being exposed as an ignorant fool by those who encourage you to repeat these lies?
