We could do far worse.

The one thing about Coolidge that’s not been replicated in post-WWII times (with the possible exception of Truman) is that Coolidge made himself very accessible to the press and the people. He gave, oh, at least six press conferences a month, he was photographed out and about this land with all sorts of people, in all sorts of settings, he was very accessible.

On social issues, he was very reticent, however, loathing to inject himself or the office of the President into things like the Scopes trial.

He wasn’t the greatest speaker but man his words sure rang true.
