Honest it's not politics. I was looking at the box and seeing Bush and then seeing Colin Powell. I'd feel a whole lot safer if the latter were in charge.

In historical terms it seems to me that you've got Coolidge at a time you need a Roosevelt. Either Roosevelt.

The best hope I can see is that Bush seems to give the impression of a man who is aware of his limitations and is willing to delegate. I remember what Churchill said of Attlee. "A modest man - with much to be modest about." (Which wasn't fair on Attlee - maybe it'll turn out not to be fair on Bush.)
