George Washington was reluctant to take power. but he knew his country needed him at a very important time. and when he was done, he relinquished his power and went back to the farm.

I didn't know that Fred Thompson led the Continental Army. I didn't know that he'd been in the military at all. When he was in Valley Forge, did Fred Thompson stay in an old farmhouse or did he stay at the Hilton?

The article isn't a bad article, and Mr. Thompson isn't a bad candidate. I'll vote for him if he's nominated, but he's a long way from meeting the comparisons to either Ronald Reagan or George Washington.
