I hope to God another thing they will have in common is two terms in office!!!
Agreed. Bush gets the job done.
Bush`s speeches right after 9-11, were the best of his Presidency. That passion and intensity has been lacking in recent speeches. Although the D-day ceremony was a good one.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
President Bush's closest advisers have refrained from making comparisons. They are wise, I think not to. President Reagan was unique as a leader and as an American and no one could fill his shoes. President Bush has done a lot of good things but he isn't Reagan. There isn't a politician alive today in this country who is exactly like our beloved President in stature and we will not look upon his like again.
Why? It's an insult to Reagan in my opinion. There's no comparison.
Reading this Kudlow editorial about Reagan's successful policies also reminded me that Bush is following in Reagan's footsteps.
Kudlow: Reagan's link (between economic growth at home and American strength overseas)

Reagan recognized that then and Bush is recognizing it now and shaping his policies accordingly.
It's a great review of Reagan's brilliance and achievements, recognizing that link.
I remember those types on the right who bash Bush 24/7 today, also bashed/complained about Reagan when he was in office.
You know who you are. Shameful.
