At the time Jake was a very recent immigrant to the US; Sadie was still living back in Poland," "Today I was able to shake hands with President Harding, a real man of the people. Your President would never do anything like that." Keep in mind that Harding must have been meeting immigrants in New York City, people who could well have been anarchists, and more than likely didn't speak much (if any) English. At the time my grandfather only spoke Yiddish, though he later mastered English. By this time (1921) three American Presidents had been assassinated, the most recent of which (McKinley) by an immigrant anarchist. One year prior to Jake's encounter an anarchist bomb exploded on Wall Street--one of a series of mysterious bombings. Common sense has evolved considerably.

I'll say no more about this subject except that allowing free access to our highest elected officials by anyone and everyone is to invite disaster. That's NOT political. That's not against the Constitution. It's just common sense. Walker
