I view Bush Sr.’s presidency, for better or worse, as simply a four year closing of his boss’ presidency. He helped shepherd much of the work that had been started by Ron through to the end, he dealt with the domestic and foreign issues that cropped up as a result of policies his boss put in place, and ultimately his presidency fell victim to the economic lunacy that was “Reaganomics.” He never got a true presidency to call his own, but instead the rump term that his boss couldn’t get due to 22A.
