If he acted like Bush, you could just kill him and try a new king.

We can already do that. That's what the 2nd amendment is really for - it ensures the people the means to violently overthrow the government.

What's keeping you then?

It's not because you have no guns

Funnily enough, despite being a monarchy in name, modern British government is a republic in nature. The Queen is a figurehead with essentially no political power.

Despite a lot of people whining, the majority of us actually agree with Bush, if somewhat subconsciously for some people.

I find that easy to disagree with

You might as well suggest that Harper is secretly liked by most Canadians too.

Bush had someone throw a grenade at him. He also had a huge airplane aimed at his house.

Clinton had someone shoot up his house. Someone else actually managed to crash a small airplane in his house. And of course there's the entire impeachment thing.

The first Bush had an Iraqi plot to kill him.

Reagan was actually shot. Jody Foster was not impressed though.

Ford survived an assassin only because a bystander stopped the gunman (and as a consequence was outed as a homosexual and killed himself. We don't take kindly to someone saving the president...)

Nixon was hounded out of the Whitehouse and for awhile was in serious risk of spending significant time as a prison bitch.

IIRC no one tried to kill Johnson but we did pester him so much that in a huge fuck you to America he told us that after his first term he was going to take his ball and go home.

We killed Kennedy. *BOOM HEADSHOT*

Ike seemed liked and I'm not aware of anyone trying to off him.

As you can see you gotta go back over 50 years to find a president who someone didn't try to kill or hound out of office. The problem here isn't that we aren't trying, it's that most people just don't have all that great of an aim.
