From Washington to Lincoln

From Taft to JFK

the men who shaped our country

are remembered on this day.

*~*

When I became President, what surprised me most
was that things were just as bad as I'd been saying they were.

John F. Kennedy

The thought of being President frightens me and I do not think I want the job.

Ronald Reagan

Things are more like they are now than they have ever been.

Gerald Ford

No president in history has been more vilified or was more vilivied during the time he was President than Lincoln. Those who knew him, his secretaries, have written that he was deeply hurt by what was said about him and drawn about him, but on the other hand, Lincoln had the great strength of character never to display it, always able to stand tall and strong and firm no matter how harsh or unfair the criticism might be. These elements of greatness, of course, inspire us all today.

Richard Nixon

I've told you I don't live and die by the polls.
Thus, I will refrain from pointing out that we're not doing too bad in those polls.

George H. Bush

The man with the best job in the country is the Vice President.
All he has to do is get up every morning and say, "How's the President?"

Will Rogers
