Lisa’s really generous introduction did remind me of a story that may be apocryphal, but I like to think it’s true. Some of you who saw the movie “Lincoln” know that back in the day, when Honest Abe was President, there were visiting hours at the White House. And so constituents who happened to come through Washington, they’d wait their turn and there were office hours essentially for the President, and somebody could come in and they could ask for a postmaster’s appointment or some other appointment.
And one day, a guy comes in — very exercised — and he says, “You need to understand, Mr. Lincoln, that I’ve worked for you. I was a delegate in the nomination. Nobody is more responsible for getting you elected as President than I am. And I expect you to remember that.” And Lincoln looked up from his desk and he said, “Sir, I forgive you.” (Laughter.)
