I'm not terribly political and the extent of my political inquiry rarely goes beyond headlines you'll find on the ten o' clock news, but yesterday, I couldn't help but watch and rewatch President G.W. Bush's final press conference. In President Bush's press release, he seemed to deviate away from the image of a political leader [confident and unshaken], rather, to a real person with real feelings. It seems all the jokes and criticism has finally caught up to him and he's admitting defeat in regards to the mark he's left in Presidential history. And it's not a very clean mark... which he knows. I actually felt sorry for the guy.
Imagine all of your closest friends. What if they suddenly all turned their backs on you? You make every attempt to make things better, to salvage your friendship by doing good, but all the while you are making things worse. Now multiply that feeling by a thousand.... I think that's the position Bush is in as his final days of his term is coming to an end.
Is leadership a refelection of the people? Or are people a reflection of leadership? Remember, America voted him in... for a second term... right?
