He might have learned some urban tricks and gained some urban sophistication but basically he's still a simple, nice, country lad who can be fooled and manipulated by those fellas with glib tongues and what's bad about it is that he's surrounded by them... I was just kiddin' about the president thing though. But don't underestimate him, we might just get what we wish for:
