"There's no art in this White House, no literature, no poetry, no music. There are no pets in this White House. No loyal man’s best friend, no Socks the family cat. No time when the president takes off his blue suit/red tie uniform and becomes human. There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation. No Obamas on the beach in Hawaii or Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport. No Reagans on horseback. No Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape. Where’d that country go? We used to have a president who calmed and soothed the nation instead of dividing it; a first lady who planted a garden instead of ripping one out. We’ve lost the cultural aspects of society that make America great. We’ve lost our mojo, our fun, our happiness, the shared experience of humanity that makes it all worth it. We’ve lost so much in so short a time.” – Bruce Springstein
