I have already read that I need to "get a life" (channeling Helen Thomas, who wrote me the same thing) and I "don't understand the office of the presidency."
Bush 1 gave us a Dukakis administration, including raising taxes, a humdinger recession, courting the gay vote, and gutting the military in the name of We Won the Big One - No More Enemies.
Bush 2 gave us six years of open borders, hope for amnesty under the new Congress, promiscuous spending, premature celebration (Iraq), a pro-abortion Supreme Court crony-nomiee (pro-lifers are "terrorists"), constant support of the worst and most disgusting liberals (Spectre, Fat Teddy), and constant undercutting of real conservatives while supporting RINOs.
You're idealizing Reagan beyond reality. He declared amnesty for illegals, and in a sweeping fashion. Bush doesn't want to do that. As Gov. of CA, Reagan signed the most permissive abortion laws of any state. Reagan appointed Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court. He also ignored the Islamic threats that showed up at Khobar Towers and Achille Lauro.
Reagan is one of my all-time favorite Presidents. But the major way he gained success was to limit what he tried to do to just a few priority issues. Bush is doing the same. If Communism hadn't fallen (after he left office), Reagan would have been remembered as ordinary. Bush is taking the same risk with Iraq and the middle-East. He may or may not be successful in the end, but he's following the pattern.
(And, oh, if he only could speak eloquently!)
