Reagan was a real leader. He clearly defined great goals, and met them. (My favorite Reagan quote: "What is my strategy for defeating the Soviet Union? We win and they lose.")
W is a puppet. He not only has never articulated great goals (what is the war on "terror"? "Terrorism" is a warfighting strategy, not an opponent), but I doubt he could spell the word. When we gave up chasing the Taliban and Osama, turned left, and seized oil fields, I didn't need to be told anything else.
If he'd close the borders, balance the Federal budget, kill Osama, and use tariffs to save the country from the Chinese, then I'd believe he was something substantial. I don't see it happening, and he's had five years to muck things up worse.
Ohh...someone taking a stand on FR!
Oh, you're a doper. In every sense of the word.
Natch. But your failure to find faults in his administration shows just how clueless you are.

Leftist gobbledygook, and again you're ill-informed. We haven't stopped chasing the Taliban and Osama. In fact we're still engaged in Afghanistan and plan to do so until every last vestige of democracy-hating Islamic scum is wiped off the Afghanistan soil.

Yes he was. A Charismatic leader. But a charismatic leader is not always a good leader. (see: Bill Clinton)
(My favorite Reagan quote: "What is my strategy for defeating the Soviet Union? We win and they lose.")
Except, we stand at the brink of facing the Soviet Union again. So, defeat may have been only temporary. (which in no way compromises Reagan's accomplishment)
W is a puppet.
A puppet of whom? Could you be specific? The only master I have seen President Bush bend knee to is God.
He not only has never articulated great goals (what is the war on "terror"? "Terrorism" is a warfighting strategy, not an opponent), but I doubt he could spell the word.
At the beginning of this conflict over Iraq, after 9/11, I believe the President made public his goals, plans, which are a matter of public record.
When we gave up chasing the Taliban and Osama, turned left, and seized oil fields, I didn't need to be told anything else.
What makes you think we have given up? Where are these seized oil fields? Military protection is not the same as seizure, and the Iraqi's have taken over much of the guardianship police and military-wise in the past two months. As far as the Taliban, you are speaking of a label. When the criminals change labels, you would do well to ignore the labels and follow the crimes. The criminals are using priestly frocks to hide behind, and don't really much care about the label they are under. Baath, Taliban, Al Queda, Al Quida, Red Dawn.
There are over (IIRC) 300 REGISTERED terrorist groups worldwide.
Osama has very little value to his supporters right now. He may very well be dead.
Thanks for letting me respond to your litany.
I have three questions. You implied President Bush could not spell Terrorism.
How many degrees do you have, for instance?
How many degrees do you think President Bush has?
Do you have any recorded instance of him mis-spelling any words?
