President's Day

President's Day the day we Americans look back on past Presidents and the President of today. My personal fav President is Theodore"Teddy"Roosevelt(President September 14, 1901 – March 4, 1909) He was the coolest president ever. He boxed, hunted and most importantly lived up to the name President of the United States of America. He only # 5 on the top 10 list ,but I beg to differ.
1. Abraham Lincoln
"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts." - Lincoln
2. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - FDR 3. George Washington
"The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest." - Washington
4. Thomas Jefferson
"I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever. . . the Almighty has no attribute that can take side with us in such a contest." - Jefferson
5. Theodore Roosevelt
"No Man is justified in doing evil on the grounds of expedience." - Roosevelt"
6. Andrew Jackson
"It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes." - Jackson
7. Woodow Wilson
"The history of liberty is a history of the limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it." - Wilson
8. Harry S. Truman
"When even one American - who has done nothing wrong -- is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all of Americans are in peril." - Truman
9. James K. Polk
"No president who performs his duties faithfully and conscientiously can have any leisure." - Polk
10. Dwight Eisenhower
"Every gun that is made, every warship that is launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed" - Eisenhower
