Take a look at Washington fighting fires or Clinton living life to the fullest or Jimmy Carter helping the homeless. See the characters of the men who have lived in the White House. See what presidents are made of. of good deeds in george washington's time there was no fire department if a house caught fire everyone around was supposed to help put it out but just a few months before his death at the age of 67 washington was riding riding down the street when he heard that a fire had broken out near the market, he jumped off his horse and started pumping water to put out the flames when the people saw the first president fighting the fire they ran to help the presidents are done comfortable shoes thomas jefferson hated stuffiness formal manners he wore shabby clothes and muddy boots inside the white house officials from other countries were surprised when they found him in a bathrobe and slippers jefferson even let his pet mockingbird fly freely inside the white house presidents are made of bad temper andrew jackson fought in several duels mainly with people who had insulted his wife in a duel jackson was shot in the chest the bullet was too close to his heart to be removed and he remained there his entire life a man who once dueled with jackson simply said that he had a fight with jackson a guy who was not fashionable and that no presidents are made of a pie of humility abraham lincoln loved puns and funny stories and even he made fun of himself many people thought he was ugly and lincoln agreed with them when someone called him two- with lincoln's face he responded if he had another face do you think he would use this one?

Presidents are made of speed demons Ulysses Grant loved to drive his horse-drawn carriage fast sometimes a little too fast one day a police officer who didn't recognize the president stopped him as he raced through the streets of Washington and gave him a fine of Twenty dollars for speeding. Grant paid the money and wrote a letter praising the police officers for doing his job so well. Presidents are made of infinite energy. Theodore Roosevelt studied judo. He rode a horse. He rode a boat. He played tennis. He was climbing. mountains and hunted in Africa he had pillow fights and played hide and seek with his children and he always wanted to be.

Roosevelt said, "Don't waste your time, believe, act, take a place wherever you are and be somebody, act, what presidents are made of." greatness william howard taft our heaviest president weighed more than 300 pounds three times as much as our lightest president james madison was so big he got stuck in the white house bathtub taft was given a new one that weighed a ton and could hold four average sized people many thought taft was cheerful because of his size as santa claus but in reality he was miserable being president later he became a supreme court judge a job he liked much more presidents are made of fun and games calvin Coolidge was so small that his nickname was silent because once a woman sitting next to him at dinner told Coolidge that she had made a bet that could get him more than two words, you lose, he told her, but calm, calm, Coolidge He rode a mechanical horse for exercise every morning.

Presidents are picky eaters, although Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, he could not control what he served at meals. The White House housekeeper was a terrible cook and she insisted on making things she hated, like broccoli, even on a special occasion. That doesn't mean she would serve fancy food for a lunch celebrating Roosevelt's re-election, she offered her chicken salad rolls without butter and cake without frosting, but Roosevelt couldn't bring himself to fire her, he would simply make herself an egg salad sandwich if she still was there. hungry after lunch presidents are made of lifeguards john f kennedy served in the navy during world war ii and his ship was sunk by a japanese ship kennedy saved the life of a wounded soldier by taking the end of the man's life jacket between his teeth and towing him through the water to an island three miles away When later asked how he became a war hero, Kennedy replied that it was absolutely involuntary, they sank my ship, presidents are made of all thumbs, Richard Nixon had a secret recorder in his office but since he was terrible with machines Nixon made the recorder automatic but with no buttons to press it it turned on as soon as someone started talking then Nixon and the people who worked for him committed crimes and lied about them to the public but the tapes recorded the truth about what had really happened those tapes forced nixon to resign and leave the white house presidents are made of glamor years before he became president and before he married his wife gerald r.

Ford a handsome former football star dated a model together the two posed for a ski design weekend called a weekend in the lives of beautiful people in Look magazine Ford had a copy of the magazine, but like him He said, It's not something you can brag about at home. Presidents are made of helping hands. Helping people is important to Jimmy Carter, he taught Sunday. school while he was president and later decided to dedicate his time to doing good for others. Carter travels around the world trying to make peace between countries and one week a year he builds houses for homeless people for an organization called Habitat for Humanity.

Presidents are made of sweet things. Ronald Reagan loved jelly beans and he had a jar on his desk to share, but he tried to stick with his favorite, the coconut ones. Reagan was the first movie star to become president after college. He worked in radio and then in movies and soon became famous in a movie Bedtime for Bonzo in which he starred with a chimpanzee Reagan used some of the money he earned making movies to buy his parents a house Presidents are made of two feet left george bush met his wife barbara at a dance he wanted to meet her The woman in the red and green dress, but he was embarrassed to ask her to dance, so they just talked at their wedding.

George finally danced with Barbara, but warned her that she had better enjoy it. He would never dance in public again. Presidents are made of enthusiasm Bill Clinton does everything at full speed he loves to eat people have seen him chew an apple in a few bites, peel the seeds and everything and gobble down an entire pie without even using a fork. He also loves to read and play jazz saxophone and talk. one of his teachers in grade school even gave him a C for raising his hand too often presidents are made of sports fans george w bush is the first president to own a baseball team before he was president he bought one texas rangers action bush loves baseball but didn't buy the team just for fun he paid less than a million dollars for his share and then sold it for over 15 million dollars presidents are made of hopes and dreams barack obama He learned one thing from family stories about his father: the key to success is believing that you can succeed, whatever Obama does, getting good grades shooting baskets or running for president, he is confident in his abilities, his brother Wife says Obama plays basketball the same way he goes through life, he's confident, he's not afraid to shoot the ball. ball, you want to try to win a presidential timeline here are the pictures of all the presidents from george washington to barack obama of course we have had a 45th president but this book was written before he became president so which is still fun to look at all the different presidents we've had and that's it, what did you guys think now?

I'm not going to say that this book is illustrated by anyone because no one drew anything, what they did was use things to make the president's articles, so I call the person who made this book an artist because he used a different type of art to make all those images, so it turned out pretty good and that's it. I hope you liked it and we'll talk to you later.
