Sometimes I forget that such high political powers were once normal people too. It humanizes them more in my opinion. And sometimes I wonder how history would have been different if Washington had never decided to step down after two terms. Would we still have a democracy today? Would we ever elect our first black president? Or a president for that matter. And would we ever see that common man, that is on all of us, in our leaders?

I like how you questioned the line of presidents! You're completely right, we do need to think what could've happened if Washington would've never stepped down from his position. All of us forget sometimes how important history is and how its shaped us to where we are today.
ReplyDeleteI like your contemplation of past events and how they could've affected modern times if they played out differently! I love that Obama is able to live a normal life now and do things that any other person would do. Love that guy. Hope he's doin good.
ReplyDeleteWow. I did forget that people with power we're actually normal people at one point. Seeing this reminded me that everyone has to follow the same law which gives me hope that these laws will limit our current president.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that seeing these people out of office humanizes them. It's really cool to see that a former president has settled back into his pre-political life and is still involved in the government in some way
