  • Presidential War #26 - In the Palm of Lincoln's Rough-Hewn Rail-Splitting Hand
    Aug 14 2023

    On this installment of Presidential War, we discuss whether there's any president we'd rather have defending us against murder charges than renowned prairie lawyer Abraham Lincoln. Also: we decide which of the two Bushes gets picked first in flag football, we consider one category in which the lowly James Buchanan trounces Theodore Roosevelt, and we face the horrifying prospect of either Billy Carter or Malik Obama becoming president of the United States.

  • 31 Herbert Hoover
    Jul 17 2023

    Herbert Hoover was orphaned as a child, but his tireless work ethic and masterful administrative talents brought him success as a mining engineer, a career in which he crisscrossed the globe and became a millionaire in the process. During the First World War, he led a massive effort to relieve the suffering population of occupied Belgium, earning international acclaim and putting his name under consideration for the presidency. During eight years as Commerce Secretary in the Harding and Coolidge administrations, he worked to modernize the American economy and made himself the obvious choice to succeed Coolidge in 1928. After a crushing landslide victory, Hoover brought his technocratic expertise to the highest office in the land, but when a frightening stock market crash brought the unprecedented prosperity of the Roaring 20's to an abrupt halt, he finally met a crisis he couldn't fix—the Great Depression.

  • 30 Calvin Coolidge
    Jun 12 2023

    Calvin Coolidge's hardscrabble Vermont farm upbringing imbued him with the old-school New England values of hard work and thriftiness, which served him well as he embarked on a career as a lawyer in Massachusetts and began a steady climb of local and state political offices. As governor, his firm and unflinching response to the 1919 Boston police strike garnered him national headlines and inspired some enthusiastic delegates at the 1920 Republican National Convention to buck the party bosses and nominate him for vice president under Warren G. Harding. A consummate Washington outsider, "Silent Cal" kept a low profile as vice president and the bosses planned to replace him on the 1924 ticket, but in August 1923, Harding's sudden death thrust Coolidge into the White House. With the Harding administration's sordid corruption scandals still bubbling to the surface, Coolidge's quiet integrity restored the American people's confidence in the presidency, while his innate thriftiness enabled him to cut taxes, balance the budget, and reduce the national debt as the nation enjoyed unprecedented economic prosperity. In the wake of a heartbreaking family tragedy, he was resoundingly elected to a term in his own right, but four years later--as only Coolidge could do--he walked away from a surefire chance at reelection and retired to a rented duplex.
