The "Adam Sandler" President

from yahoo news, the article is here
Forty-one percent of respondents said Bush's presidency will be seen as unsuccessful in the long run, while 26 percent said the opposite. Thirty-five percent said it was too early to tell, according to the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

In January, 36 percent said successful and 27 percent said unsuccessful.

The increasing pessimism about Bush's long-term prospects comes at a time when many polls have found the public increasingly is negative about Bush's performance and the direction of the country.

This made me laugh when i read it...cause to me, Bush is the "Adam Sandler" president. In all Adam Sandler's comedies, the plot is the same..an average guy is down on his luck, and if only he had the chance, he could prove his true potential as one of the greatest of them all, and what do you know? that chance comes! and he's a winner who gets the girl and saves the day!.. hey, who can't relate to that? who wouldn't like that fantasy?..GW is like that, c-student, an average fellow, failed repeatedly at business, if it weren't for his father and his saudi friends, george would be a small town ranch hand with some funny jokes...he was drunk lost soul who found jesus, and became governor of texas...the average man rises to be a hero!..so despite his record, the people also see a guy who talks the plain talk of the common man, cause he don't speaka da english that great but it makes him more like them, not those snotty educated elitists from up north! no, george is a good ol boy just like them, and sure he's stumbled in life but haven't we all? and wouldn't it be great if he could rise to the challenge and prove that deep down he's really a winner? just like we wish we could?
that's not the whole picture, but I think it's part of his appeal...

and who knows? maybe he'll have his moment, but you know, with all the scandals and lies, I don't think so...Karl Rove has made a great hollywood production but it can't hold up to reality.
