"In the course of our history as a nation, we’ve have 44 presidents. Some of them have been brilliant; some have been not-so-swift. Some have been effective chief executives; some couldn’t manage their way out of a paper bag. Some have been intellectuals. Some have been populists. And some have been the common man.
Some of them have been stone-cold realists; others have been starry-eyed dreamers. Some have been warriors; others have been pacifists. Some have been strong; others weak. Some were visionary; others couldn’t see past tomorrow. Some were transformative; others were merely stewards of existing policy, placeholders.
We’ve had all kinds in the presidency. But the current occupant represents a first."
