Assume the Position 201 with Mr. Wuhl2007

Robert Wuhl:
The story I'm gonna tell you about today is about our most exclusive country club: our Chief Executives. Talk about members only. In 218 years, only forty-two of them and I've gotta say, for a country that's built on diversity [references picture of all 42 presidents] not a whole hell of a lot of it up there, is there? In fact, the only diversity is see up there is facial hair. That's it. First fifteen presidents before Lincoln: no facial hair. Next seven out of eight: facial hair. And the only reason Andrew Johnson doesn't have any is because Lincoln got shot and he didn't have time to grow a beard. Now, in my lifetime, there have been ten different presidents: some good, some not-so-good, all of them clean-shaven and none of them could get rid of Castro. His secret? Facial hair!
