Something that should weigh on the thoughts of "all" American Presidents when they take office ,and those many who hold elected seats in Congress,...(Even for governmental Officials in the elected offices for our States,Cities, Towns.Villages).~~~There is a Big Difference between doing a shrewd Political move,a blatantly Partisan maneuver,to gain popular Favor..OR "instead" Doing the Hard Things;- Which is carrying the burden of Leadership for the "greater good" of the whole Country,by making tough decisions and hard political stances that are sometimes "unpopular",..Decisions based on a "higher" moral value of Right and Wrong,the intrinsic values for Human Life...Speaking Out on the Standards of moral conduct,setting those hard and fast boundaries of civilized behavior for all Nations of the World ...Using your God given capacity to lead the Nation with a extra-ordinary good Faith and solemn Wisdom beyond their years....Those are All the Leadership Values that Prime Minister Winston Churchill,as"the Lion of Great Britain"in World War II stood for in all his Years of elected Office..Those few Great Men of History are made by larger World events that are quickly thrust upon them..in their burdens of Governing ~~Our World History in the longer view,from a distant scholarly perspective -Historians will judge "how" those few chosen Men respond,whether they are up to "the call" Standing up against the evil tyrannies in the World Events of their Day..Taking hold of the reins,In the hard Task of both governing and then Leading a whole People,and their Nation with your decision .(As opposed to just being a political pawn of their small Times,swaying in the immediate popular breezes of the public sentiment.. Always making calulated decisions of the moment,As if they were still continually "running" for Office .. merely governing as "Campaigner in Chief"
