George Washington: What the Presidency Should Be

Obama sees the Presidency as a seat of power, carrying himself as if he is the member of some professional ruling elite.

George Washington saw the Office of President of the United States of America in an entirely different way -

"All see, and most admire, the glare which hovers round the external trappings of elevated office. To me there is nothing in it, beyond the lustre which may be reflected from its connection with a power of promoting human felicity." --George Washington, letter to Catherine Macaulay Graham, 1790
