Droppin' Bombs Like Truman

Watch the Lame Ducks video for their hit song "Droppin Bombs Like Truman.



To complete my blogs on presidents this week I would like to share with you the ones that I find most interesting.

Honorable Mention Gerald Ford.

Gerald Ford really didn't do a lot for this country. But how was he supposed to, the man was never even elected to an office. He is also the ONLY president who was born in Nebraska (though he would claim Michigan) and the ONLY president whose first and last name end in the letter D. Ford was not re-elected mainly to do with him pardoning Richard Nixon. I salute that choice and it has earned him honorable mention.

5th Dopest: Abraham Lincoln.

This man did some cool things involving emancipation. But come on, the coolest thing about him was his unusually skeaky and high voice. It took years for people to actually want to hear him speak. I once read a funny story about how a little girl wrote him a letter saying if he grew a beard he would receive more votes. Three weeks later he had his famous facial hair, and was on his way to becoming president.

4th Dopest: Richard Nixon.

Tricky Dick was a bad ass. He grew up in the same town as Nomar Garciaparra and was a college football player, much like Gerald Ford who was an all star athelete. Nixon may have cheated to win the White House in 1972 again George McGovern, but the truth is McGovern would not have beaten Nixon either way. This was the biggest landslide election since George Washington, and Nixon sneaking around Watergate would not have made a difference. Oh, and he ended the Cold War.

3rd Dopest: Franklin Delano Roosevelt
FDR was put 3rd on my list only because his wife Elanor Roosevelt was his cousin. Aside from that the man was an amazing president for over 12 years. He helped the United States through one of it's most difficult times all while keeping the fact he had polio and was confined to a wheelchair a secret from the masses. FDR died in office during his 12th year, and left Truman with the uneasy task of dropping the atomic bombs.

2nd Dopest: Theodore Roosevelt.

Teddy Bear was a "Rough Rider," a boxer, and one of the most hard core human beings to ever grace this earth. He was a tough as nails New Yorker who once got shot before a speech, and then finished the speech. He made his way in to office when McKinley was shot, and the world was concerned. However, Teddy and the big stick he carried did tremendous things for this country and earned a spot on Mount Rushmore, as well as getting his moniker stamped on the Teddy Bear.

1st Dopest: George Washington.

George Washington is on the dollar bill, he smoked pot, and he was an amazing soldier. Comparing Washington to any other president would be like comparing Steve Young to Joe Montana, Johnny Carson to Jimmy Fallon, or Jesus Christ to God. Washington understood democracy so well he refused to accept re-election more than once, and worked free of charge when in the White House.

Feel free to post your favorite presidents on here. I like feedback.
