Bush is just rifing the bandwagon - Reagan was still more popular than Bush, so it can only help Bush to be associated/compared with Reagan.
However, Ron Reagan Jr. came out and spoke openly about how appalled he is that George Bush would compare himself to Reagan and that his father was a much better president than Bush ever will be. Thought that was pretty neat.
