Bush's complex

I just came up with an interesting theory. Bush wants to be the next FDR. If you look at everything happening, it kinda makes sense. Here's the low-down:

FDR was elected president four times during the course of WW2 in which the US got involved because of a massive attack costing thousands of American lives. It was a war that effectively changed the way the world worked and viewed itself. It also catapulted the United States from a 3rd rate military power (it was equal to Columbia or some other poor country at the time) to a world superpower. FDR also created the "New Deal", an abitious social program that would be the base of Democrats for the next 60 years.

Now look at Bush: He was president when Sept. 11 happened, costing thousands of American lives that launched a war on terrorism that is even now changing how the world works. It is a war where the US is again trying to lead the world against a common enemy. Now Bush is trying to create a new "New Deal" by changing the definition of social security.

However, there are differences that affect the outcome of Bush's FDR complex. First of all, FDR was damned smart. He didn't rely on yes-men and actually led the country in a thoughtful manner, not the brashness that Bush and his supporters are so proud of. Another difference is that FDR relied on people to run his war and policies, not god.

Finally is the execution of Bush's plans. FDR ran the country based on a simple concept: logic. It was logical to create the a social security system not based on the stock market, considering that the stock market was the cause of the great depression that necessitated the need for a New Deal. It was logical to start a war with a country that just crippled an entire fleet.

However, Bush's logic is FUBAR. He started a war on shady intelligence which was a result of the culture of "give us what we want" at the White House. He wants to revamp a program based on the stock market, the cause of the great depression. His "ownership society" only gives ownership of our money to some stock market brokers. His "culture of life" is a basket full of shit.

Bush is trying hard to become the next FDR. Unlike FDR, Bush will be known in history as an aweful leader full of bullshit ideas and bad leadership. Of course FDR did a lot of shady stuff, but his positive points greatly outweight his negatives. However, Bush's negatives greatly outweight his positives. "Leadership" is nothing without results and results are severly lacking. We don't have Osama and we only have Saddam...who we probably got because he was easier to find and didn't have nukes.
