"These polls that the Republican candidate is putting out are like sleeping pills designed to lull the voters into sleeping on election day. You might call them sleeping polls." Harry S Truman

Truman succeeded to the presidency on April 12, 1945...
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had died. The nation was mortified.
The President of the Cold Wars lie in Warm Springs, Georgia under a stormy sky.
His body ice cold, but in the hearts of every Soviet soldier; triumph was thawing with remorse to the mind.
He had lead a country through the Great Depression; through the daunting demise.
'Was elected 4 consecutive times by a country who bypassed the fine-print clause which he signed.
He had big shoes to fill. He only walked in a 9. Shoes polished to a porpoises shine by a pauper;
Who propped his foot; with all of his might; and palmed at the hide, while the president looked on Pompous with pride.
He sliced the american pie; giving everybody his portion; on a plate of porcelain design.
Fine china -
The Japanese had in their cabinets was sent flying in the explosion of forks and knives.
The world was at war - trying ward off a up rise; that would change the course of the times.
At the cross roads; where any faltering would divide the country, with a crow bar, causing it to pry
open -
Exposing the underbelly of a vulnerable nation; sprawling in it's slime.
The door was off it's hinges swinging with a pretentious whine like barn doors, poured on with tides.
Over time,
A well oiled machine dries to a stall of a standstill even when you 'floor it' in on drive.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelts death left America a sight for sore eyes.
..
Meanwhile V.P Harry Truman was crossing his tie - preparing to be sworn in - Live!
He had only been on the job for 82 days; on the morning of the mourning; resign.
..
Lets fast forward to his Press Conference; August 6th. 1945.
..
Only it's April 2013; And I'm a reporter for the New York Times.
...
..
Truman rushes out of a room full of smoke - cigars of fury
Loud congressmen voices fade as the door shuts them out; There harps of worry.
Truman isn't a burly man; all of 5'8, in a harmless hurry.
..
"Sir, where were you born?''
...
..
.
"Lamar, Missouri.."

His southern drawl was unnerving - A dumb numb of the twirl of the tongue;
He twiddled his thumb but he wasn't unfurled.
..
Is it true you're the only president who never graduated from college?
..
He shrugged, responding -

"'C' students run the world!"
..
We all chuckled, somewhat disturbed.

The room started to listen.
..
"My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician.
And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference. "

The journalist snickered and scribbled amused.
..
“How many times do you have to get hit over the head until you figure out who’s hitting you."
"If you can't convince them confuse them"
He said, each reporter trying to get in a question.
..
How do you feel knowing you're responsible for the death of thousands?somebody said upsetting the jester setting.

The President gave it a brief second of recollection.

"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."

Truman didn't know about the plans to build atomic bombs, they had been so top secret,
Even the Vice-President of the United States was not to 'breach it.
About three months after Truman became President, the Trinity Test took place.
The Trinity Test was the code name given to the first atomic bomb to successfully devastate.
The Trinity Test proved that atomic bombs would work, if they were needed to be used in war.
In August of 1945; the United States was still fighting in World War II
Against the nation of Japan...
Told about the successful Trinity Test of an atomic bomb, President Truman followed through on what Franklin had planned.
It was his hope that the power of the bomb and the damage it would cause might be enough to stop fighting,
So, an atomic bomb named “Little Boy” was dropped on the city like a swat of 6 billion watts of lightning.
When the Japanese didn’t surrender after the “Little Boy” bomb destroyed Hiroshima,
President Truman ordered that a second atomic bomb, called “Fat Man” be deployed; to ether.
Several days later, as President Truman considered using even more atomic bombs,
The Japanese decided to surrender, waving the white flag; with the red dot upon
..
"The atom bomb was no great decision. It was merely another powerful weapon in the arsenal of righteousness"
He said; peering through his glasses; fogged with reporters breathing hard with excitement.
..
"Whenever the press quits abusing me I know I'm in the wrong pew" He spoke adamant.
..
"I don't mind it because when they throw bricks at me- I'm a pretty good shot myself and I usually throw 'em back at em'"
"I remember when I first came to Washington. For the first six months you wonder how the hell you ever got here."
..
"For the next six months you wonder how the hell the rest of them ever got here"
..
"Once a decision was made, I didn't worry about it afterward"
..
A Japanese reported stood up and blurted a callous blur of savage slurs

"私はあなたがこのくそいまいましい息子WTFが何かを構成する翻訳作ら笑は、このたわごとを翻訳!!!! !!!!!!!!"

The reporters restrained. His eyes deafening. Being carried out - crying avengingly,
..
"Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive. And don't ever apologize for anything."
..
The room was unsettling; the questions were admittedly less cynically clever.
..
What are your thoughts on Minimum wage?
..
"The republicans believe in minimum wage - the more minimum, the better!"
..
"It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours"
"When even one American - who has done nothing wrong is forced-by fear
to shut his mind and close his mouth-then all Americans are in Peril"
..
Reporters sneered hysterical, his plainspoken common sense - the sharp wit -
His blunt honesty, his zero tolerance policy for bullshit.
..
"I fired Mac-Arthur because he wouldn't respect the authority of the president."
..
"I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch,

Although he was."
..
"Republicans don't like people who talk about depressions. You can hardly blame them for that.
..
"You remember the old saying: Don't talk about rope in the house where somebody has been hanged at"
"Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here"
..
He said leaning into the microphone so his voice would be clear.
..
"I don't believe in anti-anything. A man has to have a program; you have to be for something, otherwise you will never get anywhere"
"The Buck stops here!"
..
He rose from the chair - right on cue:
..
"Tact is the ability to step on a mans toes without messing up the shine on his shoes"
..
The questions flew as he made a bee line for the red sign.

Are you confident you'll beat out Dewey at the deadline?

"In most of my campaigns, I find it is best not to mention my opponent by name because, by doing so, it just gives him a chance to get into the headlines.”
..
Bursting with laughter - the crowd started shrieking with yells
Spontaneous human combustion - Someone had blew up into smithereens on themselves.
A mushroom cloud engulfed him; as he leaves -

"Fairwell"

“I never give the public hell. I just tell the truth, and they think it's hell.”
