I want my President to be the smartest person in the room. I want my President to have read Machiavelli, Marx, Orwell, Huxley, Shakespeare and the Constitution. I want my President to be part Eleanor Roosevelt, part Lyndon Johnson, part Gandhi, part Albert Einstein and part Henry V.

I want the President to have a smile that lights up a room and a glare that will melt steel. I want a President that can make a joke and take a joke. I want a President who is the child of a school teacher and a factory worker. I want a President who has had to choose between paying the electricity bill or the gas bill. I want a President who knows what it is to have a child with a disability.

I want a President who is a member of the ACLU and the AFL-CIO. I want a President who understands the difference between what is legal and what is right. I want a President who has traveled outside of the US. I want a President that had to pay their way through college. I want a President with an insatiable curiosity. I want someone else.
