We need more of this right now… Few moments feel more patriotic than a presidential portrait unveiling. On days like these, politics takes a backseat, leaving something bigger—the office, the history, the tradition. As Obama said at George W. Bush’s unveiling, “We may have our differences politically, but the presidency transcends those differences.” For a brief moment, partisan lines blur, replaced by shared respect for service, responsibility, and the weight of history. These moments feel rare today, almost radical. Leaders come and go. Respect shouldn’t. Civility isn’t weakness—we need more reminders of that. #Politics #Republican #Democrat #Presidents #Obama #Bush #Clinton #Respect
