Whenever I think about the word president, I smile and think "I personally know the lady that millions call 'Madame President'”. Cherry Jones is that lady and I have known her since 1972. We weren't close friends back then, not even casual acquaintances, but I watched her perform in two or three plays and can honestly say I have known her from the beginning.
I wouldn't wish that job on anyone, but from what I have seen on “24”, Ms. Jones would make a pretty good president. As good a president as we have had since JFK, anyway.
We just need the President, the Senators, and the members of the House of Representatives to put politics, personal gain, and pride aside and work for the good of the United States of America. We have the best, the safest, the most prosperous country in history, but I feel we are in danger of losing it. I haven't any answers......I just wish we could get good people, working together for the common good!

Considering the word PRESIDENT in February makes me think of President's Day and those two fine US Presidents, Washington and Lincoln.
I've enjoyed several biographies about our first president and have read some on Lincoln. What I take away from each is that even in the early days of this country, there were a lot of folks who played politics, who could not bring themselves to be bipartisan and who made decisions that were not in the best interest of the United States. And so it is today.
Yes, it's important to be heard. So, write your congressman, write the president, stay abreast of what's going on, but remember, this nation, its leaders and citizenry have never been perfect - not when the country was founded and not now. So keep things in perspective. Encourage common ground and above all, be civil.
