It was an interesting story with Teddy becoming president. He was made vice president partially because a certain group wanted him out of New York where he was governor. He became McKinley's VP where no one expected him to have anything to do and kept him out of the way. Teddy bored being stuck in the white house all the time actually went on a trip into the wilderness without keeping anyone informed of where he was. When McKinley was shot, there was a mad scramble to find Teddy Roosevelt as no one really knew where he was. It went on like that for a few days before he was found out in the woods and was told what happened where he asked the man for his horse so he could scramble back to Washington.

You should inform Roger that Hell, Michigan actually has frozen over more than once.
Believe me if I ever saw Roger again, he'd have bigger worries than that (or indeed the fiver).
He'd be too busy counting his remaining teeth for a start...

Also yes, i do know my Roosevelt history. I can't remember quite who wanted him out of New York but i think it had something to do with his stance on big business. Maybe target can clarify.

Before most ccers were born, I would guess.
He also stole a whole bunch of stuff from me, did the same to a whole bunch of my friends, and forgot to give me a note from a girl I was really interested in until late January. The note was inviting me to spend Christmas with her...
