Describe (In all seriousness) the American Presidency of the preceding poster

An initially sucessful Democratic President is currently in office in the third year of his first term.  Few Republicans want to challenge him.  Rep. John Dibble of Georgia mounts a dark hourse candidacy, and, promising a return to the Republican Party of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, wins the nomination.  Meanwhile this Democratic President has become bogged down in a foreign war and the economy is beginning to slow.  Dibble runs on a platform of conclusion of the war, small government and a balanced budget.  He started the campaign 15 points behind after clinching the nomination, but begins to pull ahead of the current President as September rolls by.  The President makes a few strong attempts to get the race back in his hands during the debates, but when election day rolls around Dibble wins the popular vote by about 5 points and the electoral vote comfortably.

He pushes through a government reform package during his first few months, including tax reduction, spending cuts, and regulatory cuts.  He eventually ends the war, however in a less noble way than most would prefer.  As the term passes, he is failing in his promise to balance the budget as congress has rejected most of his further substantial spending cuts.  Dibble vetos a popular education bill and his approval ratings begin to sink.  The Democratic Party makes gains during the midterm elections, and combine with a group of moderate Republicans to overturn most of Dibble's vetos on domestic policy.  Dibble is now essentially a lame duck, and his approval ratings are rather low.  The idealism that fired his run for President now hinders his administration.

Dibble declines to run again.  A series of Democratic candidates, all heavily critical of President Dibble, vie for the nomination and one of the moderate GOP leaders opposing Dibble wins the Republican nomination.  The Democrats nominate a staunchly liberal candidate who manages to beat in the general election the GOP nominee, whose candor and sincerity is doubted by the electorate.  He leaves office with a regret for having been involved in the business of politics.

I did an interesting write-up but got skipped so here's this for you all:

Uncontroversial President winning solid victory over generic Democrat, Presidency is moderate on domestic policy and socially conservative.  Goes on some neocon foreign policy adventures; for the most part is sucessful.  Reelected with hearty support form the American people.
