"[Benjamin] Harrison, on the other hand, embodied the kind of "America as global bully" stereotype that other presidents before and since always tried to downplay."
This book is so precious and full of hope.

"Presidents, especially modern presidents, have so many eyes on them and so many people to answer to, and a Congress that is often stubborn and difficult to deal with. There are so many checks and balances in place that today it would be laughable to accuse a president of being a tyrant."
When was this book published?! Ah, early 2016. A different time, a simpler time.
