today in society, our leader is currently Barack Obama and many people are happy with him as our leader but a former president, George W. Bush was disliked by quite a few people for some reasons such as putting us to war, and a few other things. (not that I disliked Bush's presidency) Nero was also disliked greatly, but he was sentenced to crusifiction and luckily, America is free and crusifiction is illegal so George W. Bush was never a bad enough leader to be killed.
