. . . a political genius. Washington was not our best military leader – he lost more battles than he won. But more than a brilliant tactician, Americans needed someone to serve as the moral compass of the nation and politically unite the country’s many factions around the patriotic cause. He was the only major Founder to lack a college education, but his innate genius enabled him to navigate the divisive politics of the time.

Absolutely, he has earned the moniker of "the Father of our Country". I don't think we would have made it to this point if not for his leadership, tactical genius, and precedent-setting actions. Truly a man for his time!

If we only had people in Washington today with his courage, vision and "devotion to the country" instead of their party and the next election.
