No, I made the case I made. Actions speak louder than words in these times. The pendulum will swing without a president becoming “in yer face” apres office.
“The left and media hated Reagan too, but he shoved it back in their pusses with rhetoric that went to the people and inspired us.”
But you are saying that Bush should speak NOW. I must have missed the record of Reagan speaking out against presidents following him once he was out of office.
Reagan didn't have to...his actions in office spoke volumes against what Carter was whining about at the time. Besides he was followed by Bush I and, by the time Clinton got in, Reagan couldn't speak as he was suffering from Alzheimer's. If you'll remember, when Bush I left office, he kept threatening to, "I'm going to say something about this" with what the Clintonestas were doing but he never did. I expect the same from his son as the acorn never falls too far from the tree. Oops, wrong metaphor, as an oak implies strength...I should have said the seed doesn't sail too far from the dandelion weed.
I hope that was humor? - He was followed by his Vice President.
The reason that President Bush should be speaking out now, is because of his inexplicable failure to do so during his time in office. WMD for example; the people should have been told authoratively that those weapons had been moved to the Bekaa Valley for use against Israel (still there), and why the move had been allowed. He should have explained the 16 tons of semi-refined uranium found in Bagdad when Sadam fell. The media should have never been allowed to lie.
