[Terry L Smith]

Things Teddy had, that the Clinton hag has not:

1. Gonads.

2. Leadership from the FRONT of the battleline, sword in hand.

3. The ‘Gunboat Diplomacy Tour’, or to put it in more simpler terms:
‘You (truck) with me and mine, and I’ll (truck) you up, good.’

4. The MAN knew what guns were for, owned many, and KNEW how to use them. Remember his Western and African expeditions? Remember how he had sent letters to Winchester containing his specifications for a handy rifle?

[Paine in the Neck]

That's the aspect of TR that everyone knows and likes. But I invite people to read his autobiography. It's available online for free. He makes it plain that he comes to leadership from a noblesse oblige attitude; that he's a superior being come to take care of the little people.
