He's on the 56th floor of this office building. He can see the East river. He can see Central Park. He can see the Hudson River. He can see Hillary coming.

As a child, George Washington could not tell a lie, even when it meant confessing to the destruction of his father's favorite cherry tree. We all know that Abraham Lincoln wrote his homework on the back of a shovel with a lump of coal. As a young storekeeper in New Salem, Illinois, he walked a mile on foot to return a customer's change. Some of the anecdotes are true, most are not. But it hardly matters.
