"An American president is not just the chief executive of the United States, and the office he (or, one day, hopefully, she) holds is not just a bully pulpit to advance certain policy ideas. Nor is it a position from which to reward supporters and punish political opponents. A president is also a moral leader, pledged to pursue the common good.… The values a president enunciates and demonstrates ricochet through society, strengthening or undermining its citizens." — Robert B. Reich in his book "Coming Up Short"
