No one will ever be as big as idiot on foreign policy as Bush 43 (41 was good, btw).

Thomas Ricks of the Post has written the definitive book of the Bush Doctrine - its a FIASCO (name of book).

Bush 41 was sort of like a Bizzaro Reagan, imo. He actually got some things done and made the tough choice to raise taxes, knowing it could cost him reelection, for the long-term good of the economy. But his lack of charisma and perceived lack of authority helped do him in.

I’m no huge fan of H.W. Bush, but I don’t think he was horrible. W. was waaaay more conservative than his dad.
