Decorum, decency, character.... Where did they go? I agree, we are in
bad place with the choices we have... But spooky part is how we got
here.... You Republican guys had an army of candidates... All better
choices than Fuckwad Trump, even Prick Perry or Cruz, yuk.... But no... And
the loyalty no matter what he does reminds me of Hitler and his
followers... On other side.. Sanders was better choice but Hillary had more
going for her... Can't say I happy about it, but she is smarter than
Trump. Johnson needs a class on current events. I pray for our
country... Lincoln ,Reagan and Kennedy are spinning away... Like I said
before.. New source of clean energy
..and on side note... I wish the aliens that followed Columbus's fleet had
sunk them... Oh well.

Abraham Lincoln, first inaugural address. An effort to stave off the
Civil war.
Of the presidents I have been aware of during my short life, in my opinion
only the following would have had the temperament to have penned the quote:
Kennedy
Regan
Perhaps Bill Clinton
Maybe Obama but probably not.
And then this:
Executive Mansion,
Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.
Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the
Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who
have died gloriously on the field of battle.
I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt
to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot
refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the
thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your
bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost,
and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice
upon the altar of Freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
A. Lincoln.
Mrs. Bixby.
Neither of our candidates could do this. They could get an aide to perhaps
pen something similar, but if you consider their heart, neither possess
this type of heartfelt caring or duty to serve.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a president that truly has these kinds of
thoughts and feelings?
Someone that could be a role model for kids.
I wonder if it will ever happen again.
