There’s a Reason We Don’t Elect Choir Boys to the Presidency
History shows that some of the worst people have attained the highest office.
I’ve been fortunate to have lived through 15 presidents going back to FDR.
While presidents may have served the nation at heart, they sometimes have a faulty moral compass.
Some of our most revered leaders have feet of clay when exposed to the light of the truth of their questionable actions.
George Washington
Twice elected unanimously to the office of president
Many perceive Washington as an austere and distant figure, yet he truly cherished entertainment and the warmth of social gatherings.
Records abound of him dancing well into the night at numerous balls, cotillions, and celebrations.
His passion for the theater was evident, as he frequented plays of every kind.
In an era marked by rigid 18th-century decorum in gender interactions, Washington stood out as a keen and attentive conversationalist with women.
Did this attention to the opposite sex move beyond conversation?
Too bad there was no Paparazzi at the time.
