I disagree. Reagan was a "leader of uncommon moral vision and clarity of national purpose", Bush was ok. He has 3 major things to his credit, IMO - 1) the tax cuts, 2) the GWOT and 3) the appointments of Roberts and Alito.
Those things aside, his presidency will be characterized by the fact that it took him the majority of his first etrm to learn how to spell "VETO", understand its meaning and use it!! In his second, term, he lurched much farther to the left, in SPITE of the fact that the left detested him and everything he stood for. He did his utmost to appease them and all he got for his efforts was more disdain and derision from them.
His "moral vision and national purpose" didn't seem to extend themselves to rotecting our southern border and protecting America from the invasion from the south. They also didn't protect us from out of control spending by the Congress, the massive earmarks and, ultimately, the meltdown our economy is currently experiencing.
So, I find him likeable as a person, but as a president, he gets about a "C-" in my book. He missed too many opportunities to be a true and genuine conservative leader.
