94. Beautiful, politicaljunkie41910, and soooo true

I miss having a President who is articulate, who reads, and isn't ashamed to let the world know that he likes to read (particularly his PDB's Presidential Daily Briefings), and who was so secure in his own person, that he never felt the need to tell us how smart he was, because we knew. A man so secure in his skin, that he did not hesitate to share with his suckscessor the benefit of all he had learned on the job, and before the job so that he might also be successful, and thus America would be successful, in spite of his trying to delegitimize him the entire time he was in office.
