Reagan defined his presidency with great ideas. That's why Reagan will be remembered as great and GWB won't.

You mean like the idea to reduce the size of government? (He didn't do it).

LIke the idea to cut out two cabinet departments? (Added one).

Tax cuts? (Cut once, raised taxes four times).

Terrorism? (Cut and ran).

Reagan had ideas, all right, but was successful in only one, albeit the biggest one: Staring down the Soviet Union.

Bush will be remembered for beginning the process of changing the face of the Middle East, by liberating 50 million Muslims.

Government spending is not a definition for greatness, since Reagan and Bush both had record deficits.

And for all of Reagan's great ideas, his record fell way short, especially on taxes.
