| Featured Comment "After reading this article, I am sure it was daunting for George Washington to be faced with the task of being the leader of this new country. It was almost as if that people expected him to wave magic wand and fix everything. The same could be said for the men that occupied this office since Washington. Washington certainly realized that all of those celebrations were the easiest thing he would attend to." — Posted by commenter Rose Anne Jones on " George Washington: The Reluctant President" | |
