I was never satisfied with Bush II. He was just so much better than the alternative, Gore, aka Bill Clinton’s third term. Bush was weak, and lacked guiding principles. The effect of the Florida recounts and questions about the legitimacy of his Presidency seems to affect him more than he should ever have allowed.
I still miss Reagan. And Thatcher.
My “uh oh” moment was when Bush described himself as a “compassionate conservative,” apparently to differentiate himself from the puppy-stomping variety.
Yeah, still majorly miss the ‘80s! Great people. Still not seeing that calibre now.
