Theodore Roosevelt vs Betsy DeVos

[Gabi Hayes]

9. interesting! sounds just like him. john muir, national parks, etal. lots of contra-

dictions of character.....no question that he was a madman, though; clearly overcompensating for the undying humiliation of having a father who bought his way out of serving in the civil war

.....Roosevelt, Twain wrote, was “far and away the worst president we have ever had.” Why did Mark Twain, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, feel that way about an immensely popular occupant of the White House to whom history has been very kind?

Of our 44 presidents, professional historians generally rank Roosevelt in the top five or six. And the sixty-foot-high visage of that same Roosevelt gazes out from Mount Rushmore alongside three at the pinnacle of our pantheon: Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln.

think I'm going with Twain on this one
