“No man who enters upon the office to which I have succeeded can fail to recognize how every president of the United States has placed special reliance upon his faith in God. Every president has taken comfort and courage when toldthat the Lord 'will be with thee. He will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Fear not-neither be thou dismayed.' Each of our presidents in his own way has placed a special trust in God. Those who were strongest intellectually were also strongest spiritually.” MenWayStatesPresidentUnitedLordUnited StatesTakenFailingSpecialComfortOfficeTheeStrongestTrust In GodFaith In GodRelianceFear NotForsakeDismayed Author:John F.

“The president, apparently, was so totally unaware of where his foreign policy was that he had to appoint a distinguished commission to help him locate it, and when the commissioners called him in to testify, he told them, essentially, that he couldn't remember what it looked like. Now, if Richard Nixon had claimed something like that you would at least have had the comfort of knowing he was lying. You could trust Nixon that way. But with this president, you have this nagging feeling that he's telling the truth.” IfsWayHelpingFeelingsFunnyRememberLyingPresidentKnowingPolicyComfortTelling The TruthForeign PolicyDistinguishedNaggingCommissionersReaganomics Book:The World According to Dave Barry Source: The World According to Dave Barry

“The actions of President Trump have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies, and whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear, he merely exploited it - and rather successfully.” ActionGivenPresidentSituationEnemyTrumpComfortFaultsAlliesAlarmsDismay Author:George Clooney
“The whole country needs to get to the bottom of what really happened with the Russian collusion allegations. But in the meantime, we have a president Donald Trump who himself says trust me. He does not accept the boundaries of law. He basically says that if anybody gets too close for comfort, I'm going to get rid of them. And as long as that's in place, we cannot afford as a country to put our fate in the hands of someone so whimsical and so unpredictable.” LongCountryPresidentAcceptingFateComfortBottomBoundariesUnpredictableTrust MeWhimsical Author:Laurence Tribe
“President Reagan was a master communicator. In this particular speech he did a brilliant job moving between the stately role of U.S. President and a national eulogist. The pain of the event was etched on his face. In 4 short minutes, he addressed five different audiences. He spoke to the collective mourners, families of the fallen, NASA employees, school children, and even took a poke at Russia. He communicated comfort and patriotism within a very short timeframe. That's not easy to do.” ChildrenDifferentSchoolPainMovingEasyPresidentAudienceComfortBrilliantFallenEmployeeNasaPokePresident Reagan Author:Nancy Duarte
“Abraham Lincoln did have intellectual instincts, a tremendous curiosity on a broad range of subjects, and a near-photographic memory for what he read. He was, at the end of the day, a politician: politics were his heaven, said William Herndon. But Lincoln did take comfort in ideas and books, more so than almost any other president, and he went to books and ideas in moments of perplexity to sort things out. Philosopher, no, but thoughtful and "surprisingly well-read" for his day.” BookMomentsHeavenPresidentMemoriesPoliticianComfortIntellectualInstinctCuriosityPhilosopherThoughtful Author:Allen C. Guelzo
