The Queen vs. George Washington - President John Adams Eulogizes George Washington

US Policy Season 1 Episode 34

With the death of the Queen we explore some of the speeches and messages around the death of our first President, and one of the best leaders of all time, George Washington. 

The comparisons between the Queen's leadership and George Washington's aren't very comparable, but the words that are used to discuss these two leaders are.  While the Queen's eulogies almost feel hollow (and we appreciate who she was as a person), George Washington's are almost underrated. 

This is also our first speech from John Adams - this has enough personality that we will be doing more.
