Someone mentioned Reagan after his assasination attempt and how he acted at the hospital. It was really "Grace under Pressure."

Along those lines and my personal favorite is Teddy Roosevelt. He too was shot in the chest. While still bleeding and in pain he went out and made an hour+ speech. He is also the only United States President to be awarded the Medal of Honor for his leadership on the San Juan Heights. (100 years later.)

Reagan was killer with the quick one-liners. I miss him.

Our country desperately needs a Teddy Roosevelt at this moment.

Isn't it funny... everyone always tosses up the same set of names. There are so many presidents no one ever mentions. One of my projects for this new year is to read a biography on every last president in order. That should be interesting.
