To tell the truth, I don't idolize politicians. I usually don't LIKE politicians, regardless of party or policy. I wasn't sure I'd like Bush when he was elected, but I do now, for his handling of the job under some unbelieveable pressures, any one of which would make most people fold.
That's why I call him a real man today. He's done his job and kept the faith with us through some rough times.
