When the subject is Clinton, the response tends to be focused on the subject. Unlike certain "Great Americans" to use your own words, I am unable to accurately assess GW Bush's success as a President. Several years from now we will have a much better idea what he did or did not accomplish. History will probably relegate Clinton to a footnote reference to sex between the Bushes. It is too early to tell on GW Bush. Bush 41 was not strong enough to ever go down as a great President. He practiced better foreign policy than Clinton, but his allowing Sadam to continue will reduce that legacy. 41's caving in to Democrat budget busting prerogatives, and allowing them to force him into breaking his pledge was not the act of a great President. Bush 43 has done some things that make me wonder. Signing an incumbent protection bill into law is clear violation of his duty to protect the Constitution. The steel tariffs are horible. The only justification I can think of is military. He has limply approved all kinds of Democrat budget busting imperatives. At least he is talking the talk of rewarding those who produce. Tax relief is past due. The welfare society pendulum is swinging back towards the center. Lets hope that society starts to act like an educated one, which facilitates commerce, instead of regulating commerce out of existence.
