This country needs more Andrew Jacksons and Theodore Roosevelts!

Andrew Jackson was a kickass President. Heavy drinker and tough fighter. He was a bit wreckless and insane, I admit, but he was badass. He'd drink any man alive today under the table. The Jews sent a man to kill him and he beat the guy with his cane!

If more Presidents were to think like him,the OWS demonstrations would never had existed.

Though looks nothing like Jackson this guy does seem to act well as a President.

This clip really summarizes why he's my favorite President.
