Whatever else any one may think or feel about the recent election, here's something that makes me proud. Quoting a post from Real Clear Politics:
When (George) Washington stepped aside after two terms, his old adversary King George III is supposed to have said, "If he does that, sir, he will be the greatest man in the world."
I am proud that there is a history of over 200 years and 40 peaceful transfers of power between presidents. Let's not take that for granted.
