No one wanted Andrew Johnson to be president. And they were right.
John Dickerson: As we have this conversation, the presidency is changing. Because one of the things that struck me about Joe Biden is: here’s a guy with all of the slap and tickle talents of a senator, and he pretty much can’t use them because we are in a place now where if a president is associated with a piece of legislation, the chances it’s going to get bipartisan support diminish because the other side doesn’t want to be a part of anything that a president from the other team is for.
Oh, absolutely. I think it is a unique ability—“unique” might be overstated, but it’s rare to yield focus. Alice Roosevelt said of her father, Theodore, that at every wedding he wanted to be the bride, and every funeral he wanted to be the corpse. And I’ve said that about Bill Clinton. It is just part of being the president. Biden doesn’t seem to be that. In a way that is different and I suspect is part of what the party elites were looking for when they picked him as their front runner.
