The local newspaper reports that today was historical, because of a visit to Utah by an American President. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't.

Although the media often use the shock value words of "exclusive" or "historical", it seems to me that it's not very exclusive if everybody else has the story, and to be historical-it may take a few years to see if it really is. Although the President of the United States did visit Utah today, it has happened before, including the time when President Grant stopped in the Utah Territory in 1868. If we go back to 1960, at the time of this photo, we see two gentlemen, who were highly regarded as presidential type people. John F. Kennedy visited Salt Lake during his campaign to become an American President. He met with David O. McKay, who was then the President of the LDS Church. In 1960, both of these guys were loved and revered my many. Now that significant time has passed, perhaps-historically speaking, both may now be considered Real American Idols.
