President's Day

Today is President's Day. Where I live, it starts off President's Week. The schools are closed for the entire week. People will celebrate this week in the malls or at Disney. Others will fly to Aruba. I will be in work. Since I work in the medical field, I do not have this week as a vacation. We used to celebrate George Washington's birthday on February 22, the real date. We used to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday on February 12, the real date. Someone got the idea to combine the two and throw in a week off. The only thing that bother me is that I would bet that most people could not even tell you the names of all of all of the 44 United States Presidents. They could tell you the names of the Jersey Shore idiots, or the Sesame Street characters, but not the names of the men that helped to form this country. Could you name them? Since, I am up and have a few minutes before I go to work, here they are:
George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams,
Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James Polk, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, Glover Cleveland,
(yes, twice), William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barak Obama.
Some were great, some were not. Let's make number 45 really count.
