the president we want … in a word

Posted on December 13, 2007 | Filed Under politics 

We hosted a pre-caucus house party this evening at our home during which I asked our guests to express what it is they are looking for in a presidential candidate in one word. Their answers make quite a list!

• integrity
• compassion
• inspiration
• honesty
• justice
• humility
• diplomacy
• reconciler
• character
• change
• moral

I do hope and pray that our next president will be marked by attributes like these!
