Toad, I object to your assumption. Like most people who won't be voting for Obama, I don't "hate" him, I just disagree with most of his policies and I don't think he's been a particularly good President. (Not that I necessarily think Romney would be much better, but at least I agree with more of his policies.) In any case, conservative "hatred" of Obama is nothing compared to the truly vicious liberal hatred of Bush the Younger--not merely as a President, but as a person. It was called "Bush Derangement Syndrome" for a reason.

That's as may be, you explained the reason for the "hatred" with your own question. People who diss Obama do so because they know what he's done and what he's failed to do since he took office. Long story short, he promised much and delivered little, and reasonable people can and do disagree on whether his "change" has been for the better or the worse. (Romney has also fallen into the candidate trap of promising more than he can plausibly deliver. It pretty much comes with the territory.)

Speaking of Romney, you seem to have some serious misconceptions about what the President can and cannot do. Even if Romney wanted to "ban gay rights" in the States--and that's a huge assumption--the President simply doesn't have that kind of power. As for Obama being "a cool guy" and Romney being "a fake, greedy douchebag", such statements almost always reveal more about the speaker than the subject.
