Bush never claimed to be Reagan in the first place. How can he move away from a title he never applied to himself?
You must have been asleep during GWB's 2000 campaign. He all but declared himself the rightful heir of Reagan.
Who would've guessed that on September 22, 2005 GWB would include RR, along with Carter and Clinton, as lacking "courage and character" thus emboldening terrorists worldwide.
