Notes on Art & Politics | 149 The Character of Presidents: Faith, Hope, and Voting (1992) Mr. Bush has said, by way of defaming Mr. Clinton’s character, that the character of a presidential candidate is important. So it is. The President we get is the country we get. With each new President the nation is conformed spiritually. He is the artificer of our malleable national soul. He proposes not only the laws but the kinds of lawlessness that govern our lives and invoke our responses. The people he appoints are cast in his image. The trouble they get into, and get us into, is his characteristic trouble. Finally, the media amplify his character into our moral weather report.
