I don't mean it has to be an explicitly political speech - that would backfire and it would be in poor taste. We want to be careful not to do what the Democrats' did at the Wellstone memorial and desecrate a tribute to a great man. What I meant is its okay for the President to evoke a philosophy that President Reagan held and explain it to the American people. He doesn't have to get partisan to do that. The President should explain what Reagan's view of America and its government means to him and to the American people. In no way should this be a rally for the President's re-election campaign. The Democrats are going to see any explication of Reagan's beliefs and values as political in an election year. Let them; the man and the President cannot be appreciated without the vision that guided his stewardship of the American Ship Of State during the two terms he was President. This is what I mean by President Bush setting the stage for a second term - by making people understand the TRUTH about who Reagan was and what he did with his life.
