Best Pres since Reagan.
True, but that might be the lowest bar in presidential history. Daddums was a whimp in sheep's clothing and the bent one was by far the biggest crook to ever shyster his way into the WH.

Nonsense.

No president has faced bigger challenges - a war on our shores, losing the largest number of civilians since the Civil War? An undeclared world war with your legislature the biggest obstacle to victory? A fighting force that is a fraction of that used in WWII? The real (not phony that Kennedy faced) prospect of nuked American cities?

As much as I love President Reagan, he lost the only opportunity to do something meaningful in this war when he left Beirut.

The bar that GWB is hurdling is that set by FDR, and FDR had a media that wouldn't even tell the people that he couldn't walk, much less that he was having a affair in the White House. Plus, FDR (wrongly) had a lot more latitude - can you imagine our President putting muslims in a concentration camp?

Please. God willing, we will win this war, and when that happens decades from now, historians will look at what GWB did in Iraq as the beginning of the end.
