Bush is a wanna be, he will never come close to Reagan. My father was one of Reagan's greatest fans. Part of that World War Two generation of unique human beings who survived the world depression and survived the misery of a world war and the Cold War that followed it.
The following generations, including mine, have no clue what they went through and the trial by fire that made them men of steel.
Ironic in a way, my father started to have the serious effects of Alzheimer's as Bush 1 came into office.
He passed away shortly after Reagan announced he had Alzheimer's.
My father thought Reagan was the greatest US president of his lifetime, which included Rosevelt.
I think that I will agree with him on that.
Perhaps. I'll reserve judgement till he's out of office.
As for Reagan, He is one of the truly great ones.
IMHO, Reagan, Lincoln, and Washington are the three greatest presidents this country ever had. I am loath to say that any of the three is the greatest - they are peers.
