IIRC, Reagan wasn’t acknowledged for the great president he was until after he was out of the office. I remember the mockery and ridicule he got for the Star Wars Defense.
It’s unlikely that GWB will go down in the annals of history quite the way Reagan did, but time will tell how he’s remembered.
I disagree. GWB has done a fine job, but not a great one. I recall a distinct sense of loss when Reagan left office and I know a lot of others who felt the same way, Reagan created a sense of optimism, it just isn't there with Bush.
