2. My mother—thirty-nine years of public service as an elected local public official.

3. The President of the United States. Without a doubt the most difficult, public, and fascinating job in the world—wouldn't want it for anything.

Good stuff, sir. Good enough I had to share on my blog, since there's no way I could come up with 50 things I love about politics.
