And I remember finding an amusing German article about the new vice presidential candidate. They had the wrong Coolidge. They had another Coolidge in mind because they couldn't imagine some of the U.S. vice presidential candidate they'd never heard of. But he was government, new governor of Mass. So first, they didn't know he was. Second, they didn't know how to take him.

And third, Europe owed the United States so much money, the whole mess that were the German obligations that was the UK obligation. And there was Europe staggering under the debt, not clear how to generate growth in their economies that might begin to support the debt.

Where the Europeans were correct about the wrongs of the U.S., that was the tariff, because you can't ask someone to pay you back money and then impose a policy that makes it tougher for them to export. And that is what the Republicans did. That was a big ouch. U.S. hypocrites, right? That was the wart on the Republicans or the sin of the Republicans that should never be forgotten.

Just a lovely man, never said a nasty thing in public. He just didn't see any utility in that. Always talk policy, not personality. So that's what we like about him at the Coolidge Foundation. And we try to introduce young people to Coolidge, let them make up their own mind about who their favorite president is. It's not just the man, it's the policy.

And particularly his modesty is something so rare in politics today. I do believe somebody like that could be elected again. The radio hosts often tell us no. I do believe it's quite possible for Coolidge to win again. We like people we like on the second and third impression, not just the first.

Oh, check out our website, CoolidgeFoundation.org. I'm working on a book about the Gilded Age. I better do a good job. I'm particularly proud of a book on the Great Society, which took the New Deal even farther, called Great Society. And I hope you take a look at it.
