It’s lonely at the top!
Our Presidents have a uniquely solitary job. They surround themselves
with the strength and wisdom of talented and experienced people, but as
Harry Truman once said, “The buck stops here.” We can hardly imagine
the weight of decisions they must bear. Perhaps that is why we are so
familiar with the before and after photographs depicting the accelerated
ageing process while in office. These leaders deserve some time to relax
and unwind.
Some of the greatest times anyone can enjoy are when we can let our
guard down because we are among those who have been where we have been:
people who know the truth and don’t make harsh judgments. We can have
a great time with each other especially after the challenge has been met
and the heat is off. We can talk, commiserate and just be ourselves.
Who do former presidents hang out with? Wouldn’t it be just a great
time if they could “let their hair down” together and just have a
time to laugh and remember? Can you imagine that?
Well, here they are:
“Grand Ol’ Gang”
