We could if each side weren't more obsessed with being right than actually celebrating the good the guy/gal is doing right. Then there's also the fact that most political leaders in the past few decades (with the exception of Clinton) have been focused only on advancing the interests of their major supporters instead of the American populace in general. That makes it kinda hard for us to overwhelmingly support someone who stands counter to what a large group of us may believe in.
If we have a leader who manages to be elected based on what the majority of Americans really want (and not just based on what a "majority" of the voting populace wants), we might have a chance of cheering and supporting that leader with pride.
The first step to accomplishing that is campaign reform so that person won't be beholden to a single party or interest group.

It can happen, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the leader will be a good leader. It will just mean that this particular leader is popular and will "appear" to be good.

our system is so corrupt that the only way to move up in it is to be someone that nobody can cheer for.
if you want to be proud of your leader, that person has to have never been in our government system to begin with. you know, that nice person that always finished in last place.

no we never will, all the great presidents that made the tough decisions were put down, and unpopular at the time, even though history has shown them right. This is a good case for President Bush. He has made mistakes, but at the same time he has kept us safe and he knows that if we do not deal with radical Islam that it will deal with us.
Good question.

Sure we will.....but later, as more facts are uncovered, we will realize that we've been duped again.
