Excerpt from Wit and Humor of American Politics: A Collection From Various Sources Classified Under Appropriate Subject Headings The game of politics, as played the world over, has a perennial and absorbing interest everywhere; but especially in these United States, where the humblest citizen is more or less in touch with public affairs, does this interest culminate. To some men, the great game is meat and drink, house and home, - nay, life itself. Others have bartered name and fame of a certain sort for the sometimes doubtful pleasure of swaying conventions or caucuses. To men of humbler mold, to be a power in ward or in precinct is sufficient reward for any amount of self-sacrifice. Yet others find the political arena the avenue to wealth. All of these things are possible to the American citizen. More than in any other country does the whirligig of city, state, and national politics enter into and influence the daily life of our people. The displacing of a fourth-class postmaster in some backwoods township may have results as lasting and as far-reaching in their way as the ousting of a member of the president's cabinet.

“I heard one [presidential] candidate say that what this country needed was a president for the ‘90s,” Ronald Reagan once said. “I was set to run again. I thought he said a president in his 90s.” Abraham Lincoln, in one instance, was able to put a serious injury in a humorous light; in response to a young woman’s question about where a soldier was wounded, Lincoln replied, “Ma’am, the bullet that wounded him would not have wounded you.” Presidents often bring a sense of humor to the White House with them, allowing the American public to catch a glimpse of their not-so-serious sides. This book examines how five of the nation's funniest chief executives—Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan—used wit and humor to their advantage during their terms as president, and how their management of the Executive Branch was thereby enhanced. As a bonus, the effective use of humor by several unsuccessful presidential candidates is surveyed.

Legendary for his clever gibes, bits of wisdom, and ability to laugh at himself, Ronald Reagan endeared himself to the public from the moment he entered the political arena. Few presidents have been so frequently quoted for their one-liners or quick comebacks. Now, for the first time, The Reagan Wit offers the Reagan humor in hundreds of quotations, both famous and unfamiliar, from every phase of his life, all in his own words. Following Reagan through his youth, college years, military service, acting career, two terms as governor of California, presidency, and post-presidency, The Reagan Wit takes a look at endless priceless moments. Included here are well-known gems like Honey, I forgot to duck (after the assassination attempt on him) as well as lesser-known but equally entertaining statements such as, Im not worried about the deficit: its big enough to take care of itself, capturing the charm that has made Reagan a revered figure. Whether hes playing a mischievous college prank, cajoling his staff members, or jousting with the press, The Reagan Wit gives an all-encompassing and hilarious portrait of Reagans remarkable comic timing.
