Good, Bad, Not Too Ugly

We should not say BEST or Worst President of the United States. First we must divide the history of the country into times on and off of the World stage. We truly admire those guys we call the founding fathers. Recently, a Broadway musical put the spotlight on one of those who was not a President – Alexander Hamilton. If his time in history did not focus the WORLD’s attention on him, then that play certainly did.

William Henry Harrison was not one of the founding fathers, but his time fell close to those guys. Don’t call him a Democrat; don’t call him a Republican. He was a Whig. Only American history students might know how close he would fall to modern Republicans or Democrats. If you want to speak ill of the Whig, then just say that he didn’t have enough sense to get in out of the rain. (Does the video say it better than me?)
