Yeah, but in office he was a wimp. Caved into Tip ONeil again and again. We read his lips - and because he was as spooked by ONeill as the Bush brothers are by George Greer - he turned around and raised taxes, and lost reelection as a result.
Morris' comment was what HE thought Reagan thought, not something based on an actual conversation. Since that autobiography has been discredited by just about everyone as being full of Morris' weird perceptions, I am amazed Morris is suddenly the authority on what Reagan thought of Bush 41.
Few people remember that Bush 41 had a Republican House and Senate, that they threatened to freeze the military budget during Desert Shield if he didn't raise taxes, and did it with the full intention of hammering him with it in the next election, aided and abetted by people like you.
You are always trying to alienate people from the President. You are the same person who said he was a war criminal.
Furthermore, since Keyes almost ocmpletely discredited himself in the Illinois senate race, I see no reason I should care about anything he says. He is nothing but a bomb-thrower who preys on gullible conservatives for cash.
There are men who fear criticism more than they fear death. Bush I seems to have been such a man. Bush II and Jeb are murderers, plain and simple, who don't understand the Constitution or their duty.
