Well of course! Geez, Reagan had an entire CAREER developing the necessary acting skills to be superb, before even entering politics.
It was more than just that. Reagan had spent years studying issues, writing about issues, and giving speeches about issues on top of his acting career. Reagan was able to discuss any issue and always knew the right thing to say. Reagan had the confidence, the timing, the style, and the knowledge. Bush is a likable guy with lots of charisma and a solid set of values. Bush is not nearly as polished or as informed as Reagan was. Reagan's lifetime of preparation matched with his incredible character and prophetic vision may never be surpassed. Reagan was the perfect storm, he just had it all. Bush has similar values as Reagan, which is why I really like Bush.
