I don’t really blame him for his response to the things you mentioned that he had thrust upon him. Actually, unlike some, I think his response really wasn’t all that terrible. The stuff he pissed me off on was wrong stuff that he consciously CHOSE to do.
Even the Great One screwed up...1) Amnesty 1 and 2)not retaliating for the Marine Barracks bombing in Lebanon.
Much of what Bush had to deal with were a direct result of Reagan's failures.
