Saturday Savvy Sensation: the Presidents

Today's Saturday Savvy Sensation is not one person, but a bunch. In honor of President's Day Weekend, I thought I'd share this (somewhat old) blog article about Presidents who were writers. It's an interesting read if you are a history buff at all.

I have always been a fan of Lincoln's speeches. Are any of you Presidential Writer fans?

Lincoln certainly knew how to inspire with his words.

The only thing that comes to mind was having to read some of Thomas Jefferson's more...interesting essays during an American history course in college. Basically his thoughts about how obviously black people sweat more and all lesbians should be forced to get their noses pierced so everyone could recognize them for ~what they were~. Fun times.

LOL! I know, right? I like Jefferson, myself. A real literate man.

I always get chills when I read the Gettysburg address!

Interesting article and I agree - Lincoln was the best writer ever to grace the White House! Not just anyone could write the Gettysburg Address!

I agree with you and some of the other follower. I am a Lincoln fan. He was a brilliant person and excellent writer. I am a history and legal geek and in my opinion no one can hold a candle to Lincoln.
