Bill Clinton was NOWHERE NEAR as effective as Ronald Reagan. He was an unmitigated disaster for the US in terms of respect.
Now, as for GW...at the risk of angering CC1--I am highly disappointed in him. But, I am also highly disappointed with EVERY SINGLE candidate we have, both Republican and Democrat.

Brett, you must remember that Reagan was an actor who played his role well. It just so happened that he had the right convictions needed for that time at home and on the world stage.
I agree that Clinton did much to undermine the respect that much of the world once had for US leaders and has contributed to some of the difficulties Bush has encountered following him into that office.
However, I think you would agree that Bush has made his own contribution to the level of disrespect that other nations now have for the presidency and the USA as a nation.
