John Quincy Adams. Abraham Lincoln. Teddy Roosevelt. Three of our greatest presidents, true champions of this nation's values. What did all three have in common? Facial hair.
It has been more than a century since there were whiskers in the White House. The time has come. We ask President Obama to dedicate the remainder of his term to growing a beard worthy of that office. The time for taking the safe path is over. Mr. President, put down your razor. Even if it's just a mustache or a scraggly goatee. You are the face of our nation. And that face should have hair on it.
(Alternately, it's your senior year. Live a little.)
