I've been researching a little bit on our nations various presidents, like Abraham, George Washington, Hoover, ect, and look what I just found out about good ol' Mister Teddy Roosevelt. America's 26th president.



"During a stop in Milwaukee on his 1912 "Bull Moose" campaign for the presidency, Roosevelt was shot at close range by John Schrank, a psychotic New York saloonkeeper. Schrank had his .38 caliber pistol aimed at Roosevelt's head, but a bystander saw the gun and deflected Schrank's arm just as the trigger was pulled. Roosevelt did not realize he was hit until someone noticed a hole in his overcoat. When Roosevelt reached inside his coat, he found blood on his fingers."

This what he said after he found out he's been shot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."

He then finish his 90 min speech with the bullet still near his heart and THEN was sent to the hospital! How can you not admire that!?

He also Hunted Elephants and was a deputy sheriff in North Dakota where he hunted 3 outlaws that stole his riverboat and caught them! He watched over them for 40 hours straight keeping watch on those criminals till they go to trial! O: Seriously, I don't know why Chuck Norris jokes exist when we have this guy being the true figure of manly!  :D I just thought this was so awesome when I discovered more about Teddy that I just had to share this with you guys. This man defiantly is in the same league as George Washington and Andrew Jackson. I'm sure he probably did much more than what I already listed.

Teddy Roosevelt? That's a funny way to spell Ulysses S. Grant.



Just look at him. And his initials. U.S. Grant. Can't get more American than that.

inb4 this topic turns into a political debate
Could've been something great. But ya' blew it... Ya' blew it.

Ulysses S Grant also rightly deserves to be called one of the manliest! After all, he defeated Robert E. Lee.

Ponies please. Although you all made valid points, you're both wrong.
Abraham Lincoln was the most manliest.
He may not have lead the union army, nor was he shot and gave a speech.
But he was a vampire hunter.

This movie proofs everything.

Not to mention he fought in a war, took an expedition to the Amazon, and I believe he had two bear cubs while in the Whitehouse (This is up in the air at the moment)

Unless you have proof that he's a born American or, at least, a American citizen then HE DOESN'T BELONG HERE!  >:(

Grant's birth name was Hiram Ulysses Grant. His initias spell HUG. I'm sorry, but that's ludicrously manly.

Still a Teddy Roosevelt fan, though. always been my favorite president.
