LISTEN TO COMMENTARY

Ah, the presidency ...

Listen to this commentary

Today's a day off for many, in observance of President's Day. But at least two former presidents are on the job. Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush are in southeast Asia - wrapping up their tour of areas hit hardest by the December tsunami. Shortly after the disaster the current President Bush tapped them to help organize U.S. relief efforts. Former President Jimmy Carter is arguably as well-known for what he's done since being president as for what he did as president. Author and Marketplace commentator Sandra Tsing Loh is using her time off today to reflect on our presidents, their work post-Oval Office, and her own jobs over the years. (Photo: Getty Images)
