I don’t know. He has a certain look - I like it. Hotter than Kennedy (why does everyone think Kennedy was good looking?)

>> The DNA test also reveals NO African lineage <<

Not definitive. It’s quite possible that Harding himself could have had a small percentage of African DNA, but that this DNA did not show up in his grandchildren’s DNA due to the “dilution” of DNA that occurs at each generation. Genealogists who work with DNA see this phenomenon frequently.

You have a mind of your own, KK, as all kool kats do.

[Hawthorn]

>> Strom Thurmond, who had a daughter from an extramarital affair <<

Not extramarital. It was premarital. And to call the encounter an “affair” is probably a very big stretch.

[Hawthorn]

>> Democratic-Republican Party as opposed to Federalist <<

Yes, sorta. But in Jefferson’s day, he was almost always referred to simply as a “Republican” without any hyphenation.

Obama was NOT the first black president, in other words.

Warren Harding had more claim to being African-American than Rachel Doles-All.

I’m completely serious.

[Gaffer]

Agree

They said Harding was good-looking when he ran, but standards of handsomeness must have changed a lot over time.

Harding died in office. There was a lot of talk about what killed him. The official story is that it was a stroke (cerebral hemorrhage), but he had other health problems and a lot on his mind. There were rumors of foul play, but that's unlikely.

Harding was long rated the worst of presidents (along with US Grant) because of all the scandals. That's changed a bit -- the country didn't fall apart when he was in office; in fact things improved -- but it's hard to see him making it up into the average category, let alone good or great, because he made bad appointments and didn't supervise what was going on.

I think he’s kind of hot. But I’m not always a follower of current trends :-)

[Theoria]

Harding had numerous affairs. He referred to his penis in name as Jerry in his letters to one of his paramours.

That child looks just like her father! If you ask me, no DNA test was needed.

An article in the NY Times also stated the DNA definitively proved she is not only Harding’s child, but she has no African genetic code. He was not black.
