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.

True on all counts, Dubya-fan.

Unfortunately, the American Public has a pathologically-short attention span. For Bush 43 to appeal to the American Public is going to require a change of heart from the wretched DC/Big Media Press Corps (don't hold your breath, since they want to coronate that bitch ex-First "Lady"), OR a President with passion and a conviction that will fly over the heads of those dope-smoking "J-school" types that feed folks like my parents on the stupid nightly newscasts. Pretty tall order. Sorry for the run-on sentences.

Think globally (cough), act locally.

Well said Ohio, but you know how the glass is always 1/10th empty for the fickle Consrvatives. Many are leftover bombshelter types. Basically Pukeannanites who have the luxury of never being in power.
