Bush finally compares himself to Reagan...speaking as Mr. Subliminal
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/06/20040608-7.html

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
June 8, 2004

President Discusses Security Council Resolution on Iraq at G8 Summit
Remarks by the President and Prime Minister Koizumi of Japan in Photo Opportunity
Dunbar House
Sea Island, Georgia

"Q Mr. President, there are a lot of remembrances about Ronald Reagan this week. What lessons have you learned from the presidency of Ronald Reagan? And have you modeled your political style after him at all?

THE PRESIDENT: Ronald Reagan will go down in history as a great American President because he had a core set of principles from which he would not deviate. He understood that a leader is a person who sets clear goals and makes decisions based upon principles that are etched in his soul - and our nation will miss him. I had the honor of speaking to Mrs. Reagan from Paris, France, and expressed Laura and my condolences to her and her family; and the nation will be doing so, as well, on Friday."

2. Little Jesus Bush.......Quote from President Clinton
"Politics is NOT religion and we should govern on the basis of EVIDENCE, Not THEOLOGY." President William Jefferson Clinton


Evidence are facts, theology are beliefs.

4. Incredible.
I just saw that ridiculous clip replayed on Inside Politics. Bush sees all this adulation and fawnery, and he wants to BE Reagan! It's pathetic.

Then right after that Reagan's last Chief of Staff (whose name escapes me right now) was on and said that Reagan's greatest strength was his ability to get past party and work with both sides. He was willing to give up some of what he wanted to reach a compromise.

Of course, when prodded by the whore Judy Woodruff, he did say that Bush shared the heart and soul of Reagan. :puke:

5. It seems to me that most commentators insinuate that Bush is no Reagan
The few times I've turned on CNN or MSNBC since Reagan has died. Of course, I've barely watched a thing since Reagan died because I'm so tired of the over-saturation.

6. Isn't that subliminablable?
At least Reagan was able to change policies when things were going wrong.
