The first president who offends a lot of modern sensibilities is probably FDR.<br /><br />I haven't heard any Republicans denounce Jackson, or any Democrats "embrace" him. Going to a dinner named for him is about as much of an embrace as flying into Reagan International Airport.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-22412526406882029762012-09-13T06:48:56.421-07:002012-09-13T06:48:56.421-07:00And yes, I think he should even be taken off the m...And yes, I think he should even be taken off the money.<br /><br />Anon: Complete control of the Cubans didn't happen until the Soviets turned the place into a prison in 1959.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-47116526433431749202012-09-12T17:54:17.556-07:002012-09-12T17:54:17.556-07:00The Dems are still the party that openly embrace J...The Dems are still the party that openly embrace Jackson and <a href="http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/local/at-jefferson-jackson-dinner-democrats-target-rick-/nPs8q/" rel="nofollow">name so much after him and are so proud of his legacy</a>dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-80220762515445965192012-09-12T11:35:19.595-07:002012-09-12T11:35:19.595-07:00James Buchanan almsot invaded Haiti and Cuba over ...James Buchanan almsot invaded Haiti and Cuba over slavery. (In the case of Cuba, he thought the Spanish couldn't control their slaves.)<br /><br />Most of the 19th-century presidents were of the "Thank God they only had 4-8 years." variety.
