Yep Reagan was the man in his era... but that era is gone and time marches onward... Place 9-11, the Afghan and Iraq conflicts in Reagan's era and see how much he may have been able to control things.... or take them out of President Bush's era and see how much of a difference you'd get... You are comparing two different eras, apples and oranges, imo.

>>>You are comparing two different eras, apples and oranges, imo.

I'm glad you qualified those remarks.

You can be dismissive of the Reagan Era, as much as you like. The facts are the facts. Reagan was POTUS only 14 years ago. That's less then a generation. I didn't compare PresBush`s political agenda or his public tempermant with that of PresReagan, to slight GW Bush. It was done as a compliment. So don't get so defensive. Long ago George W.Bush said that he greatly admired PresReagan and the accomplishments of his Presidency. (And no, I don't have the exact quote, so don't ask for one.) PresBush has made similiar remarks on several occasions throughout the 2000 campaign and during his time in the WH. Most people think any comparisions of Bush to Reagan, are just fine.

I'll tell you one thing, if Ronald Reagan was POTUS in 2001, there would never have been a 9-11. IMO, of course.
