Since today is Presidents Day, this author and blogger is posting two entries after the one yesterday, to commemorate the holiday.
So here is the second entry today, and the third and last entry to celebrate Presidents Day!
The most important traits that any President should have, but many do not, is compassion and empathy.
There are Presidents who have compassion and empathy as very clear parts of their personalities, and there are those who have absolutely no such compassion or empathy, making them uncaring and harsh in personality.
A list of eleven Presidents WITH compassion and empathy would include the following in chronological order:
John Quincy Adams
Abraham Lincoln
James A. Garfield
Theodore Roosevelt
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Harry Truman
John F. Kennedy
Lyndon B. Johnson
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton
Barack Obama
Those eleven Presidents who most lacked compassion and empathy chronologically would include:
John Adams
Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson
John Tyler
Andrew Johnson
Woodrow Wilson
Herbert Hoover
Richard Nixon
Ronald Reagan
George W. Bush
Donald Trump
Debate and discussion on this and the earlier two entries is welcome!
