"This
is a crossroads for the Bush presidency. This is a very exciting period about
what is effective government in the 21st century. Either he will be FDR and lead
a dramatic change of government, or he will be defender of a failed system. The
biggest political challenge for the next two years is to re-centre the
government.”
