Do you think George Washington got all blubbery over politics? The man was a leader and probably never shed a tear on the battlefield or in any other situation other than at the funeral of a loved one.

I may be old fashioned, but I can't stand to watch men cry over crap like this. Save it for funerals. Real men can control their emotions.

Wrong.

" Chancellor Robert B. Livingston solemnly pronounced the oath, the Bible was raised, and the President bowed to kiss it. “I swear,” he declared. With eyes closed, he then fervently added, “So help me God!” Then the Chancellor said, “It is done,” turned to the crowd and loudly exclaimed, “Long live George Washington, President of the United States!” The crowd erupted in praise and applause. The new President bowed again and again, and had to stop to wipe tears from his eyes.

What a load of bull crap!

I bet Washington cried every single day as he saw his troops getting slaughtered and suffering through the privations of war. You sound like one of those arm-chair generals to me!

Damn skippy straight. If my dad (a REAL man) were still alive I can imagine how disgusted he'd be with this drama queen.
