Take a look at this: President Ronald Reagan called Russia the "Evil empire", it was cool & showing leadership/pride for the entire open west. President Gerorge W. Bush says "axis of evil" he is considered a moron, especially in the west.
They were both morons. At least Reagan had the diplomatic skills to establish good relations with Gorbachev.
Ronnie certainly had social skills, nor argument here, if Bush would have set down with (N.K.) Kim maybe he would have had more friends.
Because he didn't come up with a phrase himself -- he's just mixing WWII Axis powers with Reagan's Evil Empire, in hopes that it works again. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! - N
neildo you got a point, he is being looked upon as someone that tries to plaigairize ... add to it the competetive EU to the US, plus French anti-US envy.
George W. Bush is not the speaker that Ronald Reagan was. Ronald Reagan, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln are certainly the three greatest presidential orators.
