It would be nice if we learned from history once in awhile!

It was so wonderful watching these 27 people become US citizens today at St. Paul Academy and Summit school. #pride

Helen Thomas, the pioneering White House reporter who covered every president from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama, died Saturday at 92.

For decades Thomas claimed a front seat in the White House press room, and she got to know most of the presidents she covered well. But she told USA TODAY in a 2006 interview that there is one thing all presidents have in common — they hate the media.

"You have to start with that premise. And as time goes on, their position is, ‘Who the hell are you? How dare you ask?’" she said.

I was honored to introduce Ms. Thomas at a luncheon. All these people would come up and tell her how much they admired her work. Then they asked her about her "retirement." She was so annoyed! She just glared and said, "I'm not retired!"

She was a great lunch companion. She was a greater role model.
