I think a lot of presidents learn to be president by being president.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But presidents matter. That's one of the biggest lessons I learned being in the White House.
We have at least learned that the offspring of presidents don't necessarily make good politicians themselves.
No doubt it was better to have become president than not.
In America, any boy can grow up to become president. Or, if he never grows up, vice president.
Elected presidents are for countries.
Lots of people fantasize about what it would be like if they were president... Most think they'd be decent and wouldn't be corrupted at all, that they'd remain true to themselves.
I often have said that to be a college president, you need a thick skin, a good sense of humor, and nerves like sewer pipes.
But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.
I've seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are. It reveals who you are.
It is only requisite, for me to say to you, that the President places great reliance upon your skill, judgment and intimate knowledge.
