More from Harry Truman
"The only thing that I have found that is more difficult than being President is being a candidate for President."
"I have often wondered if I did the right thing. But I am sure I did. There was no other choice."
"The President of the United States has to be a leader, and if he isn't, he isn't worth his salt."
"I fired MacArthur because he wouldn't respect the authority of the president. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was."
"I've had more fun in a county courthouse than I have in the White House."
About Harry Truman (1884-1972)
33rd US President who ended WWII (atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki), founded NATO and the Marshall Plan, and integrated the US military. Closely associated with Franklin D. Roosevelt (his predecessor) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (his successor). For an intellectual contrast, see Henry A. Wallace, FDR's progressive Vice President (1941-1945) — Wallace was the VP Truman replaced on the 1944 ticket; Wallace's 1948 Progressive Party campaign attacked Truman from the left for starting the Cold War — the moral road not taken at the dawn of the atomic age.
