Bush vs Washington

[Heliopios]

Who was the best? Comparing the first president to the final president must have some sort of intellectual discussion behind it, no?

The first 2 replies are very wrong.

Washington because he was open to the idea of a national brewery.

[Kodiakclock]

Bush, he took America out of the dark and into the light.

...whaaaat? it should be pretty clear which one is BETTER and which one would win in a fist fight. Washington.

Bush is a God given Cowboy from Texas. Washington was a depressive British American. Who, for the record, was even called up for suspicion of Atheism! And he wasn't even that. He just was just such a flip flopper that it was hard to tell. We could go into the kill count but it's pretty damn obvious who's got more notches on there belt. Bush.

Washington has wooden teeth. That's pretty fucking badass.

[Il Duce]

Snopes: False.

Snopes?

[Il Duce]

Yes, Snopes.

Anybody who has a rumor about them having wooden teeth is still badass.

Washington did the most important thing any U.S. President has ever done, such as to put him on a different plane entirely when considering the greatest American Presidents, and that was to stop ruling the country after two terms.

The officers under him in the continental rebellion were considering a military coup d'état for the newly established United States of America after the withdrawal of the British troops.
Prior to reading a prepared speech, he produced a pair of spectacles and put them on. His officers had never seen him wear glasses before, and, noting their surprise, Washington remarked "Gentlemen, you will permit me to put on my spectacles, for I have not only grown gray but almost blind in service to my country."
The remark reduced the officers to tears, and the rebellion was quelled- it would be treasonous to the very cause for which they'd fought.

Badass.

Washington started the precedent that eventually became the law for stopping after two terms of presidency.  That's pretty hardcore.

I think that was more like FDR started the presidency that eventually made the amendment for stopping after 10 years.

Sure he set the precedent,but that didn't stop it from happening.

I didn't say Washington set the law.  I said he set the precedent, and the precedent eventually became a law after FDR's fourth term (was it his fourth?).

Yeah, but he only lived for about four months of it.

I don't know why we didn't start one. We could've been the France of beers by now.
