Are you stupid or something? Polk was an amazing president. I don't like Romney, but this makes me like him a bit. As a historian, I believe Polk is a president that gets seriously over looked. He was the only president EVER to campaign what he was going to do, do just that, and then get out of office. That is a great leader right there. If Romney actually thinks he can pull that off, then great. But I doubt he can. Sad to say, there will never probably be another Polk. But if you for some reason think Polk was a bad president, you may want to do a bit more reading on him. Quite honestly he was the best president we've ever had. But people are getting all weird about it because no one knows Polk. They remember Washington, Lincoln, FDR, JFK, but never Polk. It's hard to appeal to voters who are unintelligent. But all this shows me is that Romney, shockingly enough, is actually somewhat intelligent. Mull that over all you like, but leave Polk out of it.
