Toddy says:
"However, I will still assert that Bush has bridged two worlds more than any other president."

Toddy may assert it, but I have yet to see any more bridges than were there previously.

Wolfgang: I do not doubt the accuracy of your reserach. But I was in Spain in the early 1950s when Eisenhower visited there for the first time. I recall that Spain remained somewhat of a pariah to many nations. And I recall the excitement that Ike's visit generated among the Spanish people within my purview.

My point was that Bush is hardly the "first" US president to contribute to enhancing Spanish-American relations, as your research affirms.

I just get a bit tired of the Bush sycophants making claims for him that are not justified. Heck, the man couldn't even work up enough interest in Spain to learn to pronounce Mr. Aznar's name correctly.
