It seems as if a lot of today’s politicians admire Harry Truman. He was a calculating and bossy during his administration. When he left office, there were more than a few happy people. His administration was accused of corruption and the Korean War was stalemated. So, why is he admired today? As years passed, he was most remembered for taking risks. He felt a sense of responsibility and often said “the buck stops here” as a way of explaining what power he felt he had.

With many citizens unhappy with President Bush, they are saying they want a bolder president. One who isn’t afraid to make choices that might be unpopular. Unfortunately, it is hard to tell, until a person is in office, what they really stand for.
