TR was one of the best Presidents this countrys ever had. His biography by Edmond Morris was outstanding.

Teddy Roosevelt was mostly a lying blowhard. After he left the Presidency he decided to return to the White House and ran as a third party candidate, ruining any chance for defeating Woodrow Wilson - Teddy the big baby. He smeared Taft in the process, despite the fact that Taft had, in fact, prosecuted far more anti-trust cases than Teddy ever had. Child labor never bothered Teddy for the first 40 years of his life, so his outrage was pure show.

@IVoteNone TR set standards and quality control that human nature lacks because of greed. Carnegie sure as hell did create a lot for everyone but when you keep it running with no quality control you take advantage. TR did "point his gun" as it was needed. He brought quality and ethics to the game. Something that a lot of my business colleagues lack.

@Theblizzardking Yeah b/c communists/socialists would be colluding with private industry, handing over billions to wall street, banks and private industry. You should really learn the meanings of words before you throw them around. And how dare TR take on those poor mistreated industrialists who did no wrong and treated their workers so nicely.

Ledesman: "T.R. sold half of Europe to the tyrant Stalin."

And people want to cut back on education? Stalin was a kid when T.R. was President. Learn your history.

@Ledesma66 That's FDR, not TR

[Theblizzardking]

So we became a socialist nation after TR. What are we now? Ultra socialist/communist?

[SSArcher11]

@Ledesma66 You don't mean Theodore Roosevelt. That is understandable if you are not from the U.S.

@Dailybabble hell no. Teddy Roosevelt would be pissed off with both the democrats and the republicans of today. He'd despise the extremists of both sides. I think the same can be said of George Washington. He'd really hate to see what has become of this country and it's politicians.
