Quote of the Century
"The President must be greater than
anyone else, but not better than anyone else. We subject him and his
family to close and constant scrutiny and denounce them for things that
we ourselves do every day. A Presidential slip of the tongue, a slight
error in judgment, social, political, or ethical can raise a storm of
protest. We give the President more work than a man can do, more
responsibility than a man should take, more pressure than a man can
bear. We abuse him often and rarely praise him. We wear him out, use him
up, eat him up. And with all this, Americans have a love for the
President that goes beyond loyalty or party nationality; he is ours, and
we exercise the right to destroy him. " ~ John Steinbeck
