Reagan had to deal with Dem congresses, and was working valiantly to shift the entire course of American politics. Moreover, the difference between Reagan and GWB is that when someone on the right wants to slam Reagan, they have to nitpick out a bare handful of policy items out of a grand 8 year record, but when someone on the right wants to slam Bush they just need to open their eyes for a quick glance at his actual policies..
I give up, logic eludes too many on this topic.
