QFT, When I saw the title of this thread, he was the first president that I thought of!

Yeah, the list is pretty weak. Especially TR. He's the ultimate phony badass.

Coolidge isn't in there, the article fails.

One more thing about Jackson: He was a badass as a kid, too! He was a servant for some British officer, but when the bastard attacked him with his sabre (He has a scar running down the middle of his face for it), Jackson did what any boy at that age would have done: He fucking killed him. Also, if that wasn't awesome enough, during the war of 1812 (I think) Jackson led a small group of outlaws into British occupied New Orleans and, with the aid of some pirates (Probably too scared of Jackson to have said no to him), they took the city. Now, feel free to correct me in either of these, since I wasn't exactly the most attentative student in history class.

hahaha


As described by Thomas Jefferson, George Washington "was naturally irritable" and when his temper "broke its bonds, he was most tremendous in his wrath." One time, in fact, he became "much inflamed [and] got into one of those passions when he cannot command himself." Witnesses agreed that, after these sudden bursts of rage, Washington generally became calm and amiable again.

Reminds me of myself! :cool:

I agree that Coolidge's absence is a minus.

I don't agree with him much politically, but I think George H.W. Bush should be on the list. He was a fighter pilot/wildcatter, which automatically makes him a man's man. And during the mission where he was shot down, he finished the mission with his plane on fire. I'd probably replace Adams II with Bush I.

TR and Andy Jackson are logical for the list... JFK, JQA and George Washington are more mild mannered!!!
