12. Y'know, that should be a requirement for every president

Tuesday

How grounding it would be when a president has a successful day with some policy or law or speech or whatever, the kind of day when they break out the champagne, and then he or she sits down at night and reads a letter from someone who's hurting, or wants to say thank you for some small thing that was life-changing for them that the government did, and just wants the president's ear for a few minutes.
