re: #335 HappyWarrior

Another reason I am drawing parallels between Truman and Lincoln is that they were both brilliant political operators when it came down to it that used a folksy facade at times to cover it. Both also had a very strong belief in doing what was right for the country regardless of the personal political cost.

As a good example on Truman’s part:

Tempting as it would be to see Obama try something like this I don’t expect it to happen.
