What kind of jackassness is this?

Your the jackass, TR was the be President we ever had.

Best President ever.!

100 years ago you had this man as president, the only president to win a Medal of Honour and an Nobel peace prize. Now you have a man who chickened out from Vietnam and who started at pointless war. Also TR is a real cowboy.
