As you may have noted in history class, we had a heck of a time getting Rutherford Hayes into the White House. It was worth it. He abolished greenbacks by paying them off in gold at full face value, abolished the unconstitutional federal income tax, balanced the federal budget and ended reconstruction. What could he possibly have done for an encore? So, he went home to Ohio.

Viva! Ole!

Thanks for your kid words.

Hey thanks. Now when people ask me who my favorite president is I'll have a new answer.
