3. is Dwight Eisenhower
4. is Thomas Jefferson
9. I'm going to say is Franklin D Roosevelt?
6. is George W Bush
Man, it was hard not to look these up. Next!
2 sounds like something TR would have said, both content and grandiose language. Agree with Mamma on 3 and 4. I remember 6 well and it was George the first, HW. Franklin didn't have an illegitimate child. Harding did so 9 must be Harding. Truman for both 8 and 10.
No clue on 1. I mean, seriously. That's something anybody and everybody has probably said. Maybe 5 was LBJ?
Also no clue on pretty generic sounding 7.
WAG….George Washington.
Sounds like something the father of a nation might say….
1) Coolidge. It was his reply to a woman who had made a bet with a friend that she could get him to say more than two words to her.
3) Eisenhower
4) Jefferson
5) Kennedy, It was his father's advice.
6) Bush the Elder
8) Truman
9) Cleveland. "Ma, ma, where's my pa?" "Gone to the White House. Ha ha ha."
10) I'm going with Truman. War presidents are seldom popular.*
A man of few words was "Silent Cal". Coolidge didn't say much, but he said a mouthful here….
You're right about 9 of course. Harding had an illegit child (or more) but it was Cleveland who was upfront about it and the quote must be his.
1. Coolidge
2. TR
3: Ike
4. Jefferson
5. JFK
6. Bush the Elder
7. FDR
8. JFK
9. Cleveland
10. Truman
I'm pretty sure 8 was Truman and that you're right on all the others. Eureka. I think we've done it.
No one has answered the extra credit one!
Tough one. LBJ and Nixon used a lot of salty language but can't picture either of them having a parrot. Grant?
David, I'm providing a hint: his portrait is on U.S currency…
So there's a 1-7 chance of getting it right.
A. Jackson, aka "Big Block of Cheese" guy (also probably not a natural born citizen)
Van Buren was out first natural born President.
Positive it was Jackson,
A book I am reading has a different slant on our presidents, their drinking habits. Mint Julips with Teddy Roosevelt, The Complete History of Presidential Drinking. Very informative. And, it includes drink recipes.
Coolidge
FDR
Ike
Tim Necville
Nixcon
Daddy bush
FDR
JFK
Cleveland
Truman
I thought #4 might be Kevin Lundberg or, nationally, Ted Cruz.
The answers are all above but I figure I should post the official answers:
