Washed Up?

The President must really be in trouble when Elizabeth Dole has to devote an entire newsletter to trying to counter the perception in this country that George W. Bush, several months into his second term, is "washed up." She compares Bush to Ronald Reagan at a similar point in his second term. First let me say that George W. Bush is no Ronald Reagan. Also, a President can only mislead the American people for so long before they wise up. Furthermore, when historians come to evaluate this Presidency, he won't be able to hide behind an enemy then. Eventually his tenure in office will be judged on its own merits or lack thereof.
