"Jackson's America"
with Dr. D. Feller
Presidency
"It was thought that anyone who desperately wanted the presidency should not have it. A man who seeks the presidency with vigor was thought to only seek fame. This strikes me as odd. Today, all presidential hopefuls seek the presidency. It is usually a life ambition to be president.
"For this reason, Jackson said he would serve as president if he were dragged to Washington. This is why others campaigned for presidential candidates."
"I would love to know that a presidential candidate, say President Obama, would continue to do his job while others campaigned for him. - Just seems like the president has a lot on his plate without starting a full-time campaign... Just goes to show that some historic practices may be best."
-Benjamin Whitlock
