...many on this board exalt Ronald Reagan (and he was a great President and a wonderful friend to Britain) to great heights but he never got 100% of what he or they wanted

True. But, Ronald Reagan always knew what he wanted and never stopped fighting for it.

I suspect that GWB is similar in private but not as public about it which is why I suspect the left hate him so much because behind the scenes he chips away but is always courteous and polite in public.

As he said he wanted to come to Washington and change the tone. Agree with him or not that is what he feels is the correct way to behave.
