"One thing I trust Bush about implicitly is that he will act after he carefully moves our ducks into a row. He's a poker player, and some times you have to wait through a whole evening of bad cards and bluffing before you can wipe everyone out with a good hand."
I sure hope you're right. However, I'm too old and have been around too long to fully trust any politician. Some are more trustworthy than others (for instance, I had trust in Ronald Reagan to a significant degree, but had absolutely none in Bill Clinton or LBJ; I trust GWM more than I trusted his Father; I had no trust in Carter, and next to none in Nixon; but I did trust Ford; I was iffy with Kennedy, but I did trust Eisenhower quite a bit, whom, to me, was not a politician, and thus was deserving of some trust). I wasn't old enough to remember Truman.
Trust. We agree quite a bit. I remember Truman, but had no opinion of him. Trusted Eisenhower; wasn't sure about Kennedy; grew to distrust Johnson; thought Nixon was mentally ill; Ford was so-so; thought Carter the most naive President in my lifetime; grew to trust Reagan; respected HW, especially actions in Panama, Gulf War, thought his breaking his word about taxes was to get Gulf War vote passed in Congress, which it barely did (i.e. thought HW sacrificed his word for a greater American good), came to believe Clinton was a sociopath; grew to trust George W after much study of the man during 1999 and 2000.
