Bush as Reagan? Not So Fast Says Ron Jr. and Nancy

The New York Times ran an interesting peice today on comments made by Reagan's son Ron who tried to distinguish between a president guided by faith and one whose motives go deeper.

"But a friend of the Reagan family, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Mr. Reagan, who did not return a call seeking comment on Monday, was deeply uncomfortable with the way the Bush administration intertwined religion and politics and felt compelled to say so at the burial of his father, a ceremony watched by millions."


Good for you Ron!

Comments:
I agree that there are some similarities between Bush and Regean, but Reagan helped bring the Soviets down without firing a shot and his use of faith in politics was much broader and thes "us against them" than Bush has been.
