You are right about Reagan. But remember that despite their similar stance on policy, Bush and Reagan are different men. A leader must adopt a style that matches his personality. I don't know that Bush would fare well in a war of words with Democrats. His approach is to let the GOP House and Senate battle the Dems in Congress, stay above the fray, and sell his plans to the American people directly. To succeed based on the lessons of great men before you, do not necessarily do what they did, seek what they sought.

I like what you're saying. It's just that the "new tone in Washington" is turning out to be very expensive. The veto power exists for a reason. The president does seem to take a very strong stand on foreign policy that I wish he'd also do on domestic issues.

IMO, the main reason why Reagan won in such a landslide with 58% public approval is that the demoncrats had not perfected large-scale vote fraud. Much of the polling data that I saw in the 2000 election was pretty accurate, EXCEPT in urban demoncrat areas and in demonic rural areas. There the demons did better than expected.
