Wow is that pathetic. Andrew Jackson is one of the best presidents America has ever had. He is the ONLY president to have ever eliminated the national debt. His prompt strong action and stance also averted the civil war decades earlier.

Most Americans are whole ignorant of the centuries of Indian atrocities. No sympathy there.

Andrew Jackson has really nothing to do with the Democratic party of today.

The natives committed atrocities because the British did it to them, and then us after we kicked out the British.

He is the ONLY president to have ever eliminated the national debt.

Which lead directly to the Panic of 1837, the first depression in our history.

Jackson was many things, most of them not pleasant. He operated on hate. He hated bankers, so he killed the National Bank, which lead to the depression. He had zero understanding of economics, and zero curiosity on the subject. He ignored the will of congress on the subject and took "Executive Actions" to get his way. Sound Familiar?

On the Cherokee, Jackson's hatred of Indians drove him to ignore both the Supreme Court, but also simple Christian decency.

Jackson as 'Coach' says, was the founder of the Democrat Party in that he was driven by hate and a disregard for either law, tradition, or even common decency. He was as close as we ever got to being a total Dictator.

The Democrat Party keeps Jackson's traditions alive to this day.
