Nostalgia For GW?

There seems to be a pattern with Republicans since Eisenhower. When one big term goes by you find yourself relieved until another 2 termer comes in. Eisenhower was a schmuck to say the least, virtually turning America into a parking lot and dorm area for bomb makers. When Kennedy was elected it was a new sunshine. Nixon came in in 1968 and was so mean and stubborn about Vietnam that you ended up getting nostalgia for a sane Republican like Eisenhower. Nixon came and went and Carter had some good ideas but didn't have the experience or courage to fight for them like he should. Opening the door for trickle down Reagan. Who presented a white, puritan America so brazen in its complacency and neglect that you missed Nixon and his brave discussions with Mao-Tse Tung and Leonid Brezhnev.

Then along came George W. Bush. Bill Clinton's era of intelligence and curiosity went out the window with this mush mouth. Yes. Making me more fond of the days of the Great Communicator.

I can only imagine what will make me nostalgiac for this particular President.....
