Here! Here!


Congrats to us for electing our new President. We did some good with this guy. In tribute to someone who could potentially become my new favorite President I wanted to post this about my current favorite - our 7th President, Andrew Jackson.


During his term he fought against the National Bank, wanted to abolish the Electoral College, he admitted Michigan into the union, was the first President to have bodily harm done and be shot at, was a POW and he fought in 13 duels and killed a guy.

That's the whole package baby.  His nickname was "Old Hickory" because of his toughness. 

All that is going to be tough for Barack to top.  I thought his speech today was inspiring.  He could be great, if he can do the things he talks about - he could go down in history as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.  He could be right next to Andrew Jackson. 

Congratulations to President Obama and congratulations to us for electing a great new voice and a promising leader.

Maybe Cheney will come back and challenge Obama to a duel over the closure of Guantanamo.

And I must ask, is Cheney your favorite VP because he shot a guy?
