[Raine1967]

Very good post.

He was not successful and instead used backdoor ways -- illegal in MANY cases to get his agenda passed.

HE was a failure in so many ways and yet the few things he managed to do were incredibly damaging to this country. I for one am glad he did not succeed in the many ways he could have.

In particularly, privatizing Social Security. The key to all of this is that what he did was devastating, I for one am very glad he failed so much -- what we on the left need to start doing is casting a light on his failures, otherwise, he'll be canonized like Reagan has been.

The other key to all of this is that he got this done, especially AFTER 2006 with congress. We need to make it clear to OUR majority that if bush could fail so damn upward, passing this administrations agenda should be a cakewalk.

A very happy K & R. Thanks.
