problem is people are looking at just the last couple of years and not looking at his entire tenure as ceo since 1984.
do we forget what he has done since then-
before he came disney was the laughing stock of hollywood and wasnt even considered a movie studio because it spit out cheesy kid movies that noone wanted to see-even the kids.eisner turned that all around and made everything disney appeal to everyone in the family-kids,teens,young adults,baby boomers,and seniors.
that alone is a huge deal.yes the parks were popular but nowhere near as huge and as great as they are now.
in bad economic conditions people are too quick to blame the ceo of a company instead of the bad economy.it has been a horrible last 5 months for every business not just disney. have we forgotten all the airline employees who lost there job in the thousands just after sept 11? or about the other major companies that laid off thousands over the last year that noone in here mentions?he has kept the companies head over water during these nasty times and believe me when the economy turns
eisner will be everyones golden boy again and the ones who hate eisner will the first saying "i backed him all the time":zipit: :zipit: :zipit: :zipit:
