It is impossible to cast on the truly grievous direction that has been one of the real blessings of this nation without including the name of George Washington in that list.

It is impossible to reflect on the truly great leadership that has been one of the real blessings of this nation without including the designation of George Washington in that list.  In fact, in almost anyone's "top ten" list of truly great presidents, Washington would almost certainly top the list.  His stature in American history is legendary and the respect Americans have for this their incipient president borders on adoration of myth.  
In fact, there is a lot of myth and some humor about our maiden president that reflects the love plebeians bear for this titanic leader.  From the lousy with quips about his supposed wooden teeth to the thousands of places around the nation that proclaim "George Washington slept here", to the allegorical cliffhanger of how he threw a silver dollar across the Potomac as a child or his response when he was caught cutting down a cheery tree and responded to the accusation "I cannot confess a lie", Washington's myth is strong in the public memory of this gigantic leader.
Washington never set out to ripen into the greatest president of all lifetime or even to be in a position of leadership in the new country he helped to start.  He was the one who originated the concept of a "citizen president" and he believed so strongly in that concept that he refused to run for a third term because his time as citizen shepherd was over.  This tradition was sustained with little exception until it was codified into subdivision of our constitution in the silhouette of the 22nd amendment.
But before Washington was a great political leader, he showed his tremendous leadership skills on the field of battle.  He learned the art of warfare serving honorably in the French and Indian war and his influence and the adoration he had earned during that conflict netted him the title of commander and chief of the American Army when the continental congress created that role in 1775.  minuscule jolt when he ascended to the presidency some years later, he carried the boundness of commander and chief with him to the presidency where it continues to reside today even though few of our modern presidents have the military credentials of Washington.
When commanding the troops during the revolutionary war, a famous incident that has been captured beautifully by artists was his accord to cross the Delaware in new jersey to stage a surprise attack and success the battle against the British.  It was yet another brilliant maneuver that showed his firm grasp of military strategy and unparalleled served to add to his fame and reputation as an well-known maestro of men.
After the war, Washington again was partial in retiring from public life but he was never one to turn away when his nation needed him.  And needed him it did as he presided over the Continental Congress to assure the successful drafting of the US Constitution.  Of the many great accomplishments of his life, his competence to contribute leadership and inspiration to that assembly to produce this masterpiece of American political ligature would certainly be ranked as maybe his finest hour.
George Washington was rewarded for his superior management skills when he was habituated the monumental responsibility of serving as the nations first President of the United States.  His wisdom and insight into what the nation needed at east stage of its early augmenting mythical him the man of the hour for a struggling republic.  Few recognize that one of his greatest contributions to the presidency was recognizing that the nation was torn and weary of warfare.  So using his considerable influence and negotiating skills, Washington signed a number of far-reaching treaties that resulted in caducity of peace that were needed to turn the country from thoughts of contention to thoughts of building a great nation.
Washington never tired of providing leadership for two terms as the first American president and it was he who decided not to serve a third term and returned once again to private life.  But his pound on the nation and the world was profound and long lasting.  It was the kind of nation shaping mastery that truly earned him the title associated to him to this day of "father of the nation."
