I consider Harry Truman to have been one of America’s greatest presidents.

A quiet, humble man, he inherited the office — and the task of bringing World War II to an end — when Franklin Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was a man of courage and an unflinching sense of responsibility, whose motto — displayed in a sign on his desk — was “The Buck Stops Here.”

And he was that rarest of humans — an honest man — who once said:

“Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician,
and I’ll show you a crook.”

Perhaps it’s best that he’s not alive today . . . although if he were, maybe we wouldn’t be in such a God-awful mess.

Just sayin’ . . .
