coolidge is a great example. he met literally every friday of the administration, he met for at least have a director went through the budget line by line marking things out. he was determined to reduce the size and scope of government. if you don't have the focus it's probably not going to happen. one of reagan's great attributes, i mean, people who don't like reagan say he was an intellectual lightweight and have very many good ideas or maybe any ideas and i think we would say that one of his great strength was he had a handful of great ideas and he was very focused on implementing them and you don't need too many good ideas if you can just make sure you implement them. >> you said we are going to skip over the progressive teddy roosevelt and woodrow wilson. do you consider teddy roosevelt a progressive wave? >> well, multifaceted person, but if you read what he said when he ran full moose can do that he was way out there and made wilson look conservative in the 1912, election. he was arguably to the left progr
