She Ain't Like Ike.

"Bush has long taken solace in the example of Harry S. Truman, whose foreign policy was deeply unpopular in his time but is now recalled as far-sighted and sage. Now Bush is stretching the comparison still further beyond the historical pale." After (Dem strategist?)

If the next prez channels Eisenhower, Kaplan contends, "it would be not as a continuation of Bush's Truman but rather as a reversal of Bush's Dulles."
