And neither did Churchill (another historical leader whom Bush brazenly compares himself to).
I simply cannot imagine those guys having to resort to cartoonish antics like this:
http://www.dubyaspeak.com/dim.phtmlI must admit that I didn't start off thinking that Harry Truman was one of the great presidents, but the more I learn about him, the more I respect and admire him. (In contrast to the number of politicians whom I have second thoughts about, as I find out more about them. Even Churchill ... after reading "All the Shah's Men", I am convinced that despite his wartime accomplishments, he also made some rather bad decisions. Truman comes out looking better by comparison, in the Iran situation.) In Bush's case, from what I could see of him, he started out at "zero" and is now in the negative integers.
