A person for the people

 In the past week, I have looked and looked again. I must admire the earliest presidents, creating a Government, above anything else, for the people. George Washington was a surveyor and planter before becoming the General of the United Colonies and finally our first President. After he was president, he became a planter ( of cherry trees? ) and re-joined the military as Lieutenant-General of all the U.S. Armies. I began thinking, all these years later, how many of our past presidents were truly representative of the people.....When you subtract all the silver spoons, and subtract individual state governors, and the vice presidents....stardom ( sorry Bonzo )...you are left with Zachary Taylor, Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower ( also Army Chief Of Staff ) whose lives were almost entirely military. Did that make the last 3 any better suited to lead the free world? I can't say "no".  I would like to consider myself , now and always, one with the people. I have felt the pain of the recession and housing market crash. I have bitten my lips over the sickening mis-handling of funds and finance....silent no more.
