President Bush as hero and heel

When people were asked in an AP-AOL News poll to name the villains and heroes of the year President Bush garnered the Top position for the Bad guy of 2006 as well as the Hero of 2006. President Bush was the choice of 43 percent of Democrats for villain, and 27 percent of Republicans for hero. When people were asked to name the candidate for villain that first came to mind, Bush far outdistanced even Osama bin Laden, the terrorist leader in hiding; and former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who is scheduled for execution. The president was picked as hero of the year by a much smaller margin. In the poll, 13 percent named him as their favorite while 6 percent cited the troops in
Iraq.
