It's President's Day! I for one am grateful to the 42 US Presidents who gave us this great day for shopping. George W Bush is actually our 43rd president because Grover Cleveland was elected to a second term after losing his first re-election. Another interesting fact is that Jimmy Carter was the first US President born in a hospital. I think that most people would guess John F Kennedy, because he was born to a wealthy family. Something else that not everyone knows, Abraham Lincoln kept letters and bills under his stovetop hat. That's using your head, Abe! Several presidents did not have a vice president, but only James Buchanan was a bachelor and did not have a wife. The Teddy Bear was named after Teddy Roosevelt because he refused to shoot a mother bear with her cub. You gotta admire a guy like that.
