"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing." -- Benjamin Franklin
I know Pres. Obama is getting a full dose of blame for having a "thin skin" these days, but what about Romney and Gingrich? Are they made of sterner stuff? The fact is, they are all human beings with egos about the size of football stadia. We Americans tend to put our Presidents on a pedestal, only to knock them off when times get rough. Only a perfect person could live up to the expectations of a modern-day President, and we all know there are none of those out there. Let's look at some Presidential blunders just to remind ourselves how human they all are.
First, the Republicans:
Gerald Ford getting off an airplane and stumbling
George W Bush saying the word "nucular."
And some Democrats:
Bill Clinton failing to put a medal on
And finally, President Obama dealing with a lectern that won't quite work right.
