Skeptical, But Hopeful
Is there any other way to feel?
WaPo says 'most' Americans are hopeful, yet skeptical of the second Bush term, with a plurality hoping it will be better than the first. I can't think of any recent president whose second term accomplishments were particularly stellar, can you? Best rule of thumb is to expect more of the same. Earnest-folksy-ness, fiscal mismanagement, bold-but poorly executed foreign policy, war.
