My Favorite Presidents' Days!

LET'S CELEBRATE THE FOUNDING FATHERS!

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Yep Washington and Lincoln.

Oh, they've been maligned over the years, for reasons only known to disatisfied academics and anti-democracy rabble~rousers. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Lincoln was brilliant. Self educated, wise.

He loved his country.


Washington was smart, responsible and intuitive.
He stood strong for representation by the people for the people.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

No one said they were perfect, they were just as honest and good as humanly possible AND they were awesome!

I'm awestruck.

I'm certainly eager to understand history! But please don't ask me to read great academic tomes extolling microfacts, sacred and profane.

ADHD gets in the way.

Letters and words swirl.

My eyes spin.

I fall asleep.

I forget.

But I do get the import.
They were great men in a straight forward way.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Both Washington and Lincoln loved the open door.

Anyone could come to speak with these humble presidents.

They listened with open minds.

Then they made decisions, considering the opinions of the citizens.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Amazing presidential decisions:

1. Washington's decision rejecting the suggested title, Your Majesty, preferring instead, Mr. President.

Here is George Washington's Astounding 2nd Inaugural address:

Fellow Citizens:

I AM again called upon by the voice of my country to execute the functions of its Chief Magistrate. When the occasion proper for it shall arrive, I shall endeavor to express the high sense I entertain of this distinguished honor, and of the confidence which has been reposed in me by the people of united America.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Previous to the execution of any official act of the President the Constitution requires an oath of office. This oath I am now about to take, and in your presence: That if it shall be found during my administration of the Government I have in any instance violated willingly or knowingly the injunctions thereof, I may (besides incurring constitutional punishment) be subject to the upbraidings of all who are now witnesses of the present solemn ceremony.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

2. Lincoln's choice of friend and foe alike as members of his cabinet in including former opponents of the election, men of different parties.

.Other presidents who have rocked my world...
