NYT: Blaming Bush for the Wrong Things The Big Picture: "“Former Presidents Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Reagan all have some responsibility, but far less. Bush Senior is probably the least culpable. Reagan did not reappoint Fed Chair Paul Volcker, and replaced him with Alan Greenspan. Regardless of other actions, this alone haunts his legacy, and gives the Gipper some degree of responsibility."
Someone recently e-mailed me a picture of the Gipper with the question "don't you miss this guy"? Well, actually no. He had a lot of people fooled (including himself) but he will go down as just another incompetent Republican President. A good majority of his admirers believe he personally defeated the communists, when actually it was imploding without any help from him.
