I don't care who you are, you cannot tell me you don't miss this type of president. And if you say you don't, you are lying to yourself

He read one of my letters. It’s true what he says about us writing not really thinking he would read our words!

He wasn’t perfect at his job, but he did it with care for the people, kindness, class, and empathy, qualities our current “leader” lacks.
