I don’t know if our Commander in Chief is a stupid man. I don’t know if he’s just a ‘regular guy’. I don’t know if he’s funny, boring, insightful, or creative. I have never met him.
Here’s what I do know.
President Bush is not the best speaker in the world, as he often acknowledges. President Bush has one of the consistently worst approval ratings since the statistic was made. President Bush prepares to leave our highest office with a crumbling dollar, a economy on the brink of disastrous recession, a lost respect from many of the world’s developed countries, and a nation of citizens worried. Worried about their pensions being cut, worried about losing their lifelong jobs, worried about healthcare, and worried about friends and family serving overseas.
President Bush has always been a people’s President. Someone you would like to throw back a few pints with at a Yankee game. For someone that’s been to Yale, a state Governor, and United States President…how can we afford to dismiss the highest official in all our land as just a ‘regular guy’ when he clearly is not such. How can I say that he’s a not your average dude? Average dudes around the country and cutting back grocery bills, utilities, and costly hobbies so fill up their gas tanks as oil seems to set a record close each day. With gas prices continually driving into record highs approaching $4 a gallon, our President certainly must know about these daily strifes among ‘regular people’ right?
