(70,723 posts)2. I'm posting this in all The ROOSEVELTS threads: Some funnies about TR in Part 2
Somebody said, "You have to remember: The president is SIX!1"
and
Alice said, " TR) wanted to be the bride at every wedding, the corpse at every funeral, and the baby at every baptism."
Toward the end of his tenure, TR is ruminating how greatness in presidents depends on their having had a war or great crisis, that nobody would know LINCOLN without the Civil War. And the narrator reads, " TR) had not had a war, had not had a great crisis. Some people thought HE WAS THE CRISIS!" Haha.
