who wants an optimistic President???!?!  |
An optimistic President is what we have now, and look how that's turned out. He was optimistic that we'd be greeted as liberators, optimistic that there would be WMDs, optimistic that the mission was accomplished, optimistic that Brownie was doing a heck of a job, etc.
I'm not saying that I want a pessimist. I just want a realist who can and will make sound decisions based on facts, not what is thought or hoped to be the case.
