One that i find the most absolutely fascinating and interesting is the one were going to discuss tonight. James garfield. For quite a number of reasons. First of all, garfield is one of the most intelligent president s we have ever had. I mean he is up there in the top half dozen, and when we go through his life by the end of it or the middle of it, youre going to start laughing because youre just going to say no, that cant be. He cant be that good in that field. Its just not possible. And then well find something else, and youre going to say no. He is just incredibly bright, and the hope for his presidency was enormous. And so were going to discuss an absolutely brilliant human being. I was chatting with a friend before, and he asked me if i thought garfield was the most intelligent. I dont know how you test Something Like that. I mean, its not as if you give president s iq tests. Its a lot easier with things that are easy to measure. Tall and short i mean, we all know that madison wa
Along with their large family. There have been 21 families who have called the blaine house their home from the millikins in 1920 to currently Governor Paul Lepage and his wife first Lady Ann Lepage beginning in 2011.

I know exactly the year, with then congressman Dick Gephardt who was running for president. And i knew dick quite well and i was chatting with him and i asked him, do you know the last member of the house who was elected from the house to become president . And he said no. I said, well, let me give you a hint. Do you know who the only member of the house who was elected straight from the house to be president . And he still said no. And i said garfield. And he said they shot him. And i said youre running for the job, im not. But garfield, as well see, in a brief period was president elect, senatorelect from ohio and sitting congressman all at the same time. Fascinating, fascinating guy. At the time he was elected president , he was by far the youngest president we had had in American History to that date. Only two american president s in our history died before reaching the age of 50, kennedy and garfield. Obviously both for sad reasons. But hes the only house member, and im trying to
