when president calvin coolidge was being interviewed once come he was asked if he had any hobbies. he replied simply that his only hobby was holding office. because president coolidge embodies the statesmanship that links all americans today, we are proud to support the resolution, that the presidency betterin coolidge is than the model of ronald reagan for gop hopefuls today. i would like to present two persuasive arguments to support our case. first, coolidge delivered better government and created economic prosperity that lasted. first, let's look back at his demeanor. doing what he said he would. he would often say it takes a great man to be a good listener. calvin coolidge's personal traits, which you can leave the listening skills and emphasis health to keep the government small. the president once remarked that i have never been hurt by what i have not said. coolidge lived by the philosophy that one should underpromise and over deliver, including polarizing american politics to do otherwise. americans become disillusioned with politics. a most recent pew research poll shows a

>> the calvin coolidge of the invisible -- invincible u.s. economy. the race with russia is economic. the soviet union waned in the 80's because they fell apart economically. >> my second question is, president coolidge was fortunate to govern during a time of peace and prosperity. defense spending was very low. there were no automatic pilot entitlement spending programs. if you govern under the circumstances reagan governed would he not have to accept higher taxes or a deficit? amity: he would have accepted higher taxes and that would have been more honest. but generally, when you look at what reagan did, i think the governor said calvin coolidge had an addiction to cutting, to budgeting. ronald reagan had an addiction to spending and as of us admire him, we must face that. steve: the question of terrorists has been brought up. if you had added in a trade policy on a grander level of things you would have another point for reagan, when you? amity: everybody has a wart or two.

dwight eisenhower mentioned it, calvin coolidge mentioned it. not once woodrow wilson, which makes it very curious. he is buried in washington. i have never quite understood that. [laughter] but wilson of course did extraordinary damage to the city of washington through his -- allowing these racial events to occur. he was i would say almost entirely responsible -- i wrote about this in "politico" recently, for the 1919 riot which was the first to race riot of the summer of 1919 which was called the red summer because there was so much blood, not communist but the blood that was flowing in cities across the south. it began in washington d.c. and began very close to the white house and it ended up in extraordinary deaths. but all of that past and yet the does segregation remained. and by law too. here was washington on the cusp in 1939 of being a world power and at that moment, in the nation nations history, in the capital of the democracy a black man or a black woman could not stay in a hotel. in downtown washington. they had to go out to what is
