More Presidential coverage

It's been so hard to get any information on the current presidential contenders here in the US. The news media just refuses to cover it... NOT! Even so, I thought you could use some more political information

According to The Book of Useless Information, by Noel Botham

  • More presidents have been born in the state of Virginia than in any other state.
  • David Rice Atchinson was president of the United States for exactly one day.
  • George Washington had to borrow money to go to his own inauguration.
  • Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address consisted of just 272 words.
  • Herbert Hoover was the first US president to have a telephone in his office.
  • Jimmy Carter was the first US president to be born in a hospital.
  • Ronald Reagan married his first wife, Jane Wyman, at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California.

I profess no political affiliation in this blog, just thought the above were interesting...
