Most Badass President of America

Postby Vitius » Tue Aug 10, 2010 9:26 pm

In my opinion, the most badass presidents (in no order) would be:

John F. Kennedy-In 1943, a boat Kennedy was on was ripped in two by a Japanese destroyer. He and his crew fell in the water and were surrounded by flames. However, Kennedy saved a crewmember by swimming four hours to shore, by dragging his crewmember's lifejacket strap with his teeth.

Andrew Jackson-Besides his Indian Removal Act (which was pretty bad), someone tried to assassinate Jackson. Both of the man's pistols somehow missed, and Jackson proceeded to beat the man with his cane, until his aides managed to pull him off the man. Also, he allowed a man to shoot at him in a duel first, and Jackson got shot, then walked up to the man and shot him. The bullet remained in Jackson's body for nineteen years.

Theodore Roosevelt-Was shot by a man while giving a speech, and Roosevelt continued giving the speech while he had a bullet wound in the chest. Recieved complaints about cavalrymen in the army having to ride 25 miles a day, so he rode on horseback for 100 miles in one day, while 51. Had a black belt in jujitsu AND was a champion boxer.

Action Jackson was the most badass president to ever live. He challenged the judiciary and even death to stop him and neither one could for a hell of a long time.

Kennedy might be prone to heroics and epic scoring with women, but a badass he was not.

Jackson was pretty badass indeed. Runners up, George Washington and Zachary Taylor. Grant also deserves an honorable mention for getting drunk and sending all those men to their deaths without remorse.

All 20th century presidents were pretty lame and girly. Except for Truman, who nuked the japanese twice.
The kind of middle-class mentality which actuates both those responsible for strategy and government has little knowledge of the new psychology and organizing ability of the totalitarian States. The forces we are fighting are governed neither by the old strategy nor follow the old tactics.

I did a project on Kennedy, he was pretty badass, if you count scoring all the girls you see as badass, which I do. Andrew Jackson's an old fart who can fight, and Teddy, well he, he was badass.

Yes he isn't actually a former/current president, but I would choose Arnold, he's been a president in a movie or two.

I didn't even noticed Jackson, scratch my vote, I pick that one! Washington was meh, most of his glory came from being "first." Though I will say him turning down a monarchy was indeed admirable.

Honestly I don't see the point of getting that many bedpost notches. Oh well.

Didn't Andrew Jackson pick out the bullet that finally hit him 19 years after that duel during a particularly boring cabinet meeting?
