I liked him in his first term, and gladly voted for him in '04. Since then, he's been steadily losing my support. When Katrina hit New Orleans, and I had to admit I thought Kerry would have handled that situation better than Bush did, I realized I couldn't classify myself as a Bush supporter anymore. And now, the way Bush has been dragging his heels dealing with the oil price gouging, I'm really beginning to dislike him.
My dislike of Bush, however, doesn't even come close to my hatred of Maryland's governor, Robert Erlich.
Erlich recently vetoed a bill that was intended to keep Baltimore Gas & Electric from raising their prices 75%. If you think Bush is blatantly pro-big business, you've never seen Erlich. Erlich tried to force through a resolution that said the Chesapeake Bay is beyond saving, and so there was no point in telling big business they couldn't dump waste into it. (It didn't pass.) He also tried one where a state park that was saved by the fundraising of elementary school children was to be sold to developers.
