Ronald Reagan used to have a potrait of Coolidge on his desk and Dan Rather was always flabbergasted as to why Reagan would do such a thing.

He was the last President who had no desire to rule over others. Today we just take the will to power in our politicians for granted.

Dan Rather is dumber than a stump. That's why.

I think under his presidency we have the record for the lowest rate of unemployment in history, it was under 2%.
He did this with no real inflation.

My mother( as a child) used to visit them when in Northampton, Mass. I believe she even mentioned they had some sort of elevator in the home...at any rate she had nothing but good things to say about them

He was perhaps one of the greatest Presidents. There should be a movie made about him.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Needless to say, America will never see another President like him again.

That's a derogatory remark against stumps. LOL
To: GW and Twins Pawpaw
A stump would feel insulted by that statement.

Awww, I love Coolidge. This post just made me all nostalgic. *Wipes away a tear*
It's unfortunate that there are few or no Coolidge-like politicians in today's politics.

"Without looking at her he quietly retorted, "You lose."
No interest in flirting or in polling numbers and popularity. Priceless.

This is what we need for President in 2008.The GOP would laugh at Calvin Coolidge today. Don't hold your breath.

My mother was born in Readsboro, VT which isn't all that far from Plymouth. But I've never been to either place.

The thing that got me about Coolidge was his photo-ops.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
The second greatest President of the 20th century right after Ronald Reagan.

Anybody who quotes Walter Lippmann (founder of the Harvard Socialist Club and former secretary to Lincoln Steffens) for an opinion on a Republican president is stacking the deck.
