On this President’s Day – Which one(s) are among your favorite…..

by maxwell edison . Updated 15 years, 4 months ago

…… and why?

I’ll start with Harry S Truman, one of my absolute favorite.

Why?

[i]The buck stops here[/i]: It was more than a sign on President Truman’s desk. The buck really did stop with him. He made no excuses; he made no apologies; he placed no blame.

[i]Give ’em Hell, Harry![/i]: Harry Truman said, “I dont give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think its hell.

A Democrat who didn’t kiss the butts of the unions. (Compare the threatened railroad strikes of 1948-1950 to what’s going on in Wisconsin today.)

The last U.S. President who did not have a college degree. One of the most common, down-home, plain-speaking presidents we’ve ever had. One who proved that you don’t have to be an ivy-league elite to make tough decisions.

I like Harry!
