Roosevelt, a Republican, practiced what he preached: the equality of all men.

It wasn't just remarkable at that time; it was unprecedented.

[bobbo16], I so agree..he was erudite yet spoke his mind regardless of opinions across the media of the time . Candor was his touchstone...known for truth telling.

Waldo Lydeker, great! I’d like to see him replace Jackson on the 20. Jackson was not a nice guy. He killed so many Indians.

Midway Mac, we need another leader like him.

Every time you turn around, some other remarkable fact emerges about Theodore Roosevelt. So glad he is enshrined at Mt. Rushmore. That's it. No more vacancies up there. So what is missing? Capitals. Washington has the nation's capital. Only 4 state capitals honor Presidents: Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Lincoln. So that would be difficult to do, outside of a 51st state that would take the plunge and name its capital after Teddy. The only other possibility, easier than waiting for a 51st state is currency. How about sticking his mug on the $100 bill?

according to our 1970s Grade School parlance.. a "Booker" indicates "one who leaves quickly"

Roosevelt took office 2 months before after McKinley died? Amazing fact
