Political Science! Say it with me, saaah-tiiiireee
I got bored with it and just ended. Blah.
"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure." - Mark Twain
If I could give President George W. Bush an academic grade on his performance as president thus far, it would be a no-brainer. I would definitely give him an A , and anyone who would not do the same is unpatriotic.
For one thing, Bush speaks from his gut, which is exceedingly important as a leader. He has more things to do than listen to logic, let alone READ about God-knows-what. Doing the latter could cause one's brain to become cluttered and create more problems than they could ever hope to solve. Bush realizes that not only is it much quicker and easier to disregard facts and logic altogether, it accomplishes so much more. I mean, look! We're saving two countries from themselves, all the while siphoning oil from every wildlife preserve this side of the Mississippi. Well, not every wildlife preserve. Not all of them have oil underground.
As with all good leaders, we could learn something from President Bush -- his quick decision making skills and complete disregard of anything factual comes in handy. Who cares if the "Downing Street memo" suggests that he planned to go into Iraq even before 9/11 -- all that matters is that he has passion for what he believes in. We know he's a believer; he's prayed on TV. God is obviously on our side, just like Poland. And when it comes down to it, who wants to go against God? The gays. Disagreeing with the president clearly makes you a sinner. A big, gay sinner.
In terms of public speaking, Bush is a little less than talented; however, it's not words but actions that make the man. And he's an optimist -- giving the least-deserving men and women that serve under him a medal. Most people say that rewarding the unworthy is a bad thing, but obviously Bush learned one thing from being in the armed forces: those with higher morale perform better. Furthermore, his words are not too inspiring, but his actions are: He's fighting terrorism, and instilling democracy in the Middle East whether they want it or not -- which is how America was founded. Forcefully.
What is wrong, or merely unfortunate about the 67% of the United States that does not "agree" or "approve" of Bush is the fact that they are just "misunderestemating" him. Sure, he graduated from Yale with a bachelor's degree in History (as well as Harvard with a Masters in Business Admin.); and, history always proves to repeat itself, if only we do not learn from past mistakes -- but what most people do not understand is that Bush would learn from his mistakes, if only he admitted to making them.
