Today's federal holiday is Washington's Birthday

[Seeking Serenity]

1. Happy birthday, Mr. President!

I still say Washington is the standard by which all other presidents should be measured. If for no other reason than, in a time of monarchies and the divine right of kings and the like, Washington set the example of voluntarily giving up power, of doing his duty and then retiring to be a private citizen. Washington was all but offered a crown and he refused such a thing.

Best president in my book.
