Hi grandma,

Thanks for the history lesson. I didn't know that. :)

Reading the comments to the above report:
As government employees, past & present, and seriously considering a comment in a recent FedSmith review stating fed employees are better educated - I would have to say that, "Of Course, Everyone of Us recognizes the false statement that no other president has been pushed to prove he is American born:" Vice Pres Arthur went through this when taking over the Presidency when Garfield was assassinated - 1880 -

I'd totally forgotten it myself until someone brought it to my attention this past week.
Blanket statements like the girl I quoted "Very Simple Fact..." just might be the most suspect type & need some f/u ... as total untruths that spark research for that nagging thought ...
I do that a lot - make blanket statements! :rolleyes:
...didn't even think to check it with Snopes - someone will, I am sure!:cheesy:

Yep. Nothing like a trip to the family's "Old Country" and immersing yourself in Irish culture-


Turns out his Irish "Beer Summit" did something not even Ronald Regan could do-
he finished the pint of Guiness Stout, and became the first American President to do so.​


​
He may be criticized for taking too long to make up his mind at times, but he didn't hesitate Monday when offered a pint of the dark brew.
Obama downed it in four slurps and won cheers across Ireland for it.

"The president actually killed his pint! He gets my vote," said Christy O'Sullivan, a government clerical worker who was taking a long lunch break to watch live TV coverage of Obama's visit to Moneygall, the tiny village where his maternal great-great-great grandfather lived and worked. "He's the first president I've actually seen drink the black stuff like he's not ashamed of something."

Previous American presidents didn't fare as well as Obama.
In 1984, Ronald Reagan rejected the Guinness and instead posed for photographers with a pint of Smithwicks, a locally brewed red ale. He didn't finish it.

But then again you always seem to snipes at snopes.

So I'll "URBAN LEGEND" you on it instead.

Black Jack Pershing would never do such a thing.

GO BLACK JACK!

Until, if and when you or someone else comes up with some facts to prove Black Jack Pershing didn't do exactly what is documented, there is nothing to say that he didn't do it except another mans opinion....

OK those are seriously nice! I especially like the blue one, but wouldn't be to crazy about that belt spinning right nest to my left calf. Still, it's a sweet looking ride. Wonder how she sounds? Has to be cool as all heck.
