Happy Presidents Day

Just a few shots of the Presidents of my lifetime thus far; a handsome Ronald Reagan, a fatherly George H.W. Bush with son George W. & family, a sax-toting Bill Clinton (this one made me laugh!) and a pensive Barack Obama.

“Being President is like being the groundskeeper in a cemetery: there are a lot of people under you, but none of them are listening.” 
-Bill Clinton

Political Compass: Points Toward India

I just filled out the policy questions over on politicalcompass.org. I was surprised that Barack Obama was listed so far to the right. I'm not sure how accurate these things are but my nearest neighbor on the political spectrum was Mahatma Gandhi. Maybe I'm living in the wrong country.

“And so the question is whether all of us – as citizens, and as parents – are willing to do what’s necessary to give every child a chance to succeed. That responsibility begins not in our classrooms, but in our homes and communities. It’s family that first instills the love of learning in a child. Only parents can make sure the TV is turned off and homework gets done. We need to teach our kids that it’s not just the winner of the Super Bowl who deserves to be celebrated, but the winner of the science fair; that success is not a function of fame or PR, but of hard work and discipline.”
-President Barack Obama, State of the Union Address, 2011.
