What to Say. What to Do: Silent Cal Gives Mitt a Clue

If we could just bring him back. My favorite Coolidge anecdote (from a Novak column): [When told] that the United States was failing behind European powers and Japan in the training of pilots because there weren't enough warplanes for them to fly, Coolidge replied, "why can't we buy one plane, and let the aviators take turns?"

He didn't say much, but what he did was cherce.

Calvin Coolidge was a GREAT president. Too bad there weren't five or six more like him.
