I understand you REALLY want Bush to be viewed as one of the greats, but he just isn't going to be. Sorry. So sad.

@UncleMikeNJ The real TR was very controversial in his time and heavily criticized by the press and his political enemies. TR had more than his share of setbacks and detractors as president, and hindsight being 20/20, there were many things he no doubt would have done differently the second time around. Therefore, TR would have been wise enough to know that we do the best we can at the time with the information we have, and nowhere is that more true than in the lonely office of the president.

He certainly has the style and mannerisms of TR and of the great "speechifiers" of that era in general down cold.
The real TR would have smacked Bush for not closing the fist on bin Laden when he had the chance. And for being the most anti-environmental President ever.

The thing I'm impressed with the most is that the actor managed to incorporate Teddy's legendary frenetic energy into his performance. He's upbeat, spontaneous and for the most part there never appears to be a dull moment during his performance.
