Good Morning, Mr. President

The Montgomery Advertiser has a sidebar column titled "Good Morning Governor." Mostly, it's an opportunity for the editor to support or disagree with something the governor has said or done in recent days.

Here is the first (of many I'm sure) of my good mornings to the president:

"A wise and frugal government...shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."
Thomas Jefferson, March 4, 1801 (in his first inaugural address)
