well, he's a person, right? just like you, me, and everyone else. :) i don't hate 'em either, but i do kinda hate how everyone expected him to be this "savior" of sorts. gave those who adore him, and excuse deify him, and to do nothing, and those who opposed him deny the deification and do nothing.
as you stated, people in that position have enough to deal with, without having the burden of being a "savior" thrown on their shoulders, too. politically, i would say i subscribe to "anarchism" so, to me all government, except self-government, is suspect. ;)
