The President with a Nobel Prize and a Secret

Nobel Prize in Economics, but still no good at relationships.

You know me from the West Wing, where I try to govern with integrity while the floor sometimes falls out from under me — and I don’t mean metaphorically. I believe in the moral weight of the job, even when I fail to live up to it. I have a brilliant staff, a wife who sees all of me, and a God who keeps testing how much I can carry. If you’re going to stop by, bring coffee, not pity.

What I'm Into: the Constitution, Shakespearean insults, Abbey's eyes when she laughs, Latin, the quiet after a crisis
