[Reagan Man]

The "Bushies" will tell you, GHW and GW are gentlemen and respect the office of the President too much. Therefore, they avoid telling Slick to take a hike. Neither Father or the son are confrontational men. Besides, one day soon GW will belong to the ex-presidents club. Then GW, GHW and Slick can all play golf together. Some Bush cheerleaders will tell you, its part of the Bush "strategery" to make sure Hillary Rotten never gets the Dem nomination, let alone wins the Presidency. You know, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. That was the Corleone Family, of course.

Frankly, its an embarrassment to

[clawrence3]

I'm not sure about all the "strategery" but I will note that President Reagan was gracious to Carter once he got him out of the Oval Office - were you critical of Ronnie about that too?

GHW is non-confrontational. GW is very much confrontational. But neither have hair trigger tempers, which makes them seem less confrontational.

Watching GW's face during some the interviews and debates and it is pretty obvious he has his temper on a tight leash. Consider GWB's management style... It is not the management style of a person inclined to avoiding confrontations.

(Bill Clinton is non-confrontational. His management style and public policy were focused on avoiding confrontation.)
