I know this isn't a political forum (thank you SO MUCH, Joe.) But hey, the most powerful men in the world deserve a shout-out.
Trivia tid bits -
President Taft, who weighed 332 pounds, got stuck in the White House bathtub the first time he used it. A larger one was ordered. The Taft's owned the last presidential cow and the first White House automobile.
President Teddy Roosevelt lost the sight in one eye while boxing in the White House. Too cool.
President LBJ rejected his official portrait painting, saying it was the ugliest thing he ever saw. He also held cabinet meetings while taking a dump. With cabinet members in the bathroom with him. That's totally pimpin'.
President Ford was the only president whose two assassination attempts against him were made by women.
President Carter was the first president born in a hospital.
President Truman's mother, a Confederate sympathizer, refused to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom during a White House visit.
James Madison was the first president to wear trousers rather than knee breeches.
President Van Buren took his four years salary, $100,000, in a lump sum at the end of his term.
John Quincy Adams swam naked in the Potomac every morning. Bad. Ass.
If you've got any more, let's have 'em.
