No sure if you remember - but Reagan did handle terroist attacks, have a hostile UN, a congress that was under split control.

It's called leader ship - instead we have Bush following every demographic poll.

You're right, I don't remember anything like this during the Reagan years.

LOL, you've just been approached by one of the two stupidest people on this forum.

Reagan took over a budget in a complete shambles.  The prime rate was in excess of 20%.  The military had been gutted by Carter.  His little raid into Iran was aborted because of equipment failure.  We couldn't even field a small contingent.

Reagan rebuilt the military to a 600 ship Navy and a military superpower whose existance convinced Moscow it could never prevail.

Regan had extreme budgetary problems.  When he cut taxes, people on both sides of the isle chastized him.  Despite their concerns, revenues doubled under Reagan.  Sadly expenditures more than doubled.

Don't let this nincompoop bother you.

If you can't spot that Bush is a superb leader, you never will spot in anyone else.He is a giant, the best leader to come down the pipe since Reagan, and no lightweight could have accomplished what he has in two years without an exceptional talent to lead.

Your issues are irrelevant in today's world, chum.They don't count when waging a global war on terror, and that's what these times are about.Bush cut your taxes and for that you ought to be a Bushbot.HE CUT TAXES!! But, but, he's...not doing enough....
