How perfect. At this late hour, I find one of my favorite persons and of course, I am 99% in agreement with him (you)... not certain whether GWB is better than RWR, ... yet.
Reagan would never have handled THIS crisis with the aplomb of Bush. W is a younger man, with a more disciplined and well managed executive staff, and he's a guy who's watched President Reagan and President George HW Bush, admired their wonderful traits and studied their human and organizational weaknesses ... just by being a loyal son and a really situationally aware guy. Bush is far more agile than Ronnie, he just amped up the existing Cold War bilateral scrum to winning volume. Bush is rebuilding our entire military, intelligence, domestic LEO and ... just watch ... entitlement infrastructure to a new milennium excellence. He's deconstructing the Roosevelt/Truman dynasty for a new, more conservative American governance.
He's personally tougher on his expectations of friends and sanctions on foes than his Dad and Reagan. He has a more professional, empowered, effective and disciplined staff than both Ronnie and his Pop. Look, nobody since Kennedy had the communicative charisma and oomph of Reagan, and W isn't seeking or expecting that of himself. He's getting the job done as a multitasking CEO, which the Presidency requires if done right. After Clinton ... We're rolling! Reagan followed the dimwit Carter too. God help us in 2008, we need to keep the pendulum GOP right after 43's outstanding tenure.
Thanks for the compliments!! Back atcha Onyx! LOL
