Sweet!

[EsmeraldaA]

That is sooo sweet! ;o)

[DollyCali]

How sweet is this thread Ms. BIllie.. the letters matching the table background! wowsie!

Nice job.

I will leave history & politics to those of you with the knowledge.. my contribution will be movies - my area of interest & expertise re: presidents..(surprise, surprise)... true or fiction ( most fiction but fun). Here is a listing of some of my favorites that some way feature in drama or parody the presidents.

Dave - funny
An American President - romantic
Mars Attacks
Air Force One - drama
Amistad
The crossing
1776
Rough Riders
The Day Lincoln Was Shot
Wind and the Lion (26th pres).. Sean Connery & all star cast
Wilson
thirteen Days
Truman
Nixon
The Day Reagan was Shot


I am sure there are more.. these are the ones I think of that I enjoyed over the years. NOTE: Mars Attacks is a Special Effects/Sci Fi with a president (wife believed to be a Nancy Reagan & your guess is as good as mine for who the pres is)

[DollyCali]

On my profile page I have a "tables" of Lincoln & of Reagan.

Will not reproduce here to avoid waves... the sea gets rough sometimes. but they are pix/quotes from those two presidents for those interested

[DollyCali]

Nicollo is one of our literary experts.

he has written a book re: Taft & of his being the first "motorized president" great book which I have read!

See info on Nicollo's profile page FOUND HERE:

Good Trivia question as no one remembers this guy. Who was the fourteenth president of the United States? Franklin Pierce

YIKES! I sure didn't remember that name. Was there *anything* memorable about him? You're doing such a fantastic job, I'll leave the answers up to you! :)

[Billie]

Thanks, Lori! Reagan was so many people's very favorite of all time. I'm still partial to Dubya, but loved Reagan, too.

[Billie]

Hi, Majjie - thank you for your post - it's nice to see everyone's contributions to our *history* lesson today!

[Billie]

I love this!

[Billie]

Fantastic photo of the Reagans! I love the casual ones the best.

Hi Billie Wonderful thread :)

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
President Ronald Reagan

Thank you, Dolly! I like your movies about presidents, too! I suppose we *could* mention the TV dramas about presidents, but no thanks.

Anyone watching Prison Break? Man, that vice president reminds me so much of hillary it's scary. *She*'s scary!

[Billie]

Thank you, GeeBee, and thanks for that neat Reagan *table*!

Yes, indeed it is! :)

March 1801...Thomas Jefferson comments on the media spreading discontent

He believed in the character of his countrymen and he had faith with a just and steady conduct employed..they would rally to a proper system of government..

[DollyCali]

wouldn't you love to see Jefferson, Washington etc. w/o white wigs & in contemporary clothes/hair ... wonder what they would look like.

A job for Billie & photo shop!!!!!

Need to rest. Been a rough day. The hour here at computer has been fun but a true giddy pleasure that is a steal from hectic Junk in life now. Leaving in hour for evening. Went to Cav's game last night. A real treat (and we won!)

Later all...

[DollyCali]

How did you do that?!!!!????

nevermind.. will look at code later..

Different for sure.. and I like it! Nice effect
