He does what he thinks is right regardless of the opposition.

Which is what will set him apart. If only he had a little more Reagan in him (he has improved, admittedly, over the years) - and becomes able to ridicule and shout down detractors straight to the American public, he'll get what he rightly deserves.

While he's not a Legacy Chaser, hopefully he'll have one, starting with a democratic Iraq buzzing its next-door nutty Persian neighbor.

He'll never be an actor, Jeff. His character, courage, and conviction are equal to Reagan and his personality and wit at a par as well, but he'll never have a silver tongue, and heaven help us that it seems to be a requirement of a President in this shallow era.

He'll have a legacy for sure, and it will be up there with Reagan's.

Saddam is going to be swinging in the next 48 hours, and that is entirely Bush's 'fault.'

As is the fact that we have not been attacked since 9/11 to his credit (Rummy said that his success has actually worked against him because it has made it seem that the threat is not as great as it really is).

A free Afghanistan and Iraq, an unparalleled economic boom aren't going to go unnoticed by history either.

The Bush legacy will be powerful.
