harry truman, a very partisan president, once listed his eight great presidents and polk was one of those. he lists them in alphabetical order. jackson, jefferson, lincoln, polk. but he does not list them as -- he rates them but clearly polk is one of the top eight. i think that truman admired him. truman said he knew exactly what he wants to do. he said what he was going to do and he did it. and that made gray hay with truman. and he was critical of the generals as truman was of douglas mcarthur and so there is that -- that similarity, too. but polk would have -- what polk would have been right at home in today's acidic washington environment, political environment. i think that he would have been up to the needles and the digs and the knives that are wielded and i think he would have waded right into that environment and been right at home. he was a man for his time. there was very little you can say that he left his administration was sandwiched between the only two whig administrations in our history and both of those administrations, the harris administration and the taylor administration, were, of course, interrupted by the dea

jackson around here. they're having sardines on toast, talking about the election, and roosevelt reaches for a pot of tea to pour it into harry truman's glass and his hand is like this. he can't get the tea in the glass. and truman, vice presidential candidate, realizes, i think, at this time where this is going. at the time of the 1944 election, 55% of americans could name fdr's running mate. isn't that extraordinary? 55%. 45% really had literally no idea who this guy was. they win the election. 82 days later, truman is walking through the white house door, right? think about this. the nation is in shock. he's in the white house. he has to walk into roosevelt's office. stasters, they don't know who this guy is. all the staffers kept diaries. a lot of them are in your lie burglary. it's so fascinating. a lot of them are published. and truman puts a sign on his desk. i'm going to begin to make a point here. truman puts a sign on his desk that says "always do right." this will gratify some people and astonish the rest. who knows who said that? here in missouri, we should know. mark twain. he puts a quotation in a leather portfo
