Conversely, Bush Jr. was no Reagan. Reagan understood sacrifice, Bush Jr. only understood good times for the rich and connected, and then misrepresent their sacrifice as by saying 'they have to watch all this on TV'...which they most likely were not. Reagan didn't get the US stuck in quagmire foreign wars. But he did hit them when they needed hit....a philosophy that would well be recognized by current leaders or leader wanna-bees. To even put them in the same category a leader is at best far fetched. No, in my book Carter and Bush Jr. have about the same incompetency levels. The personal saving graces of Carter though that Bush Jr. does not possess is that Carter can actually build things, is a nice guy and would help you change a flat tire if you had one. I believe Reagan possessed the same personal qualities. Bush Jr. can do none of those things nor would he want to. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
