gave him a sword with an inscription on it and kosciuszko was actually at francis tavern when george washingtonbye to the troops. and, in fact, he gave kosciuszko -- 'cause kosciuszko was made a member of the order of the cincinnati. and washington, when he was saying goodbye to him actually slipped a cameo ring on his finger. and i say in the book the irony of this it was as if washington was passing the baton to kosciuszko because you have one farmer general passing the baton to another farmer general who was trying to win freedom for his country. and as far as kosciuszko's relationship with washington, it wasn't as warm and fuzzy as the relationship he had with general horatio gates because general gates later freed his slaves and he allowed slaves to joins. army as themselves rather than in the name of their -- in the name of their owner, the slave owners. so it was -- it was a more of a official relationship. and washington spent probably the most amount of time with kosciuszko was when they were at west point and on the visits to west point he would be given tours of the various readouts

for years afterward, there were still subregions of george washington's birth night. they did not do john adams' birthnight. i hope i am not cutting you out here. there was still washington's birthday. people still flocked to mount vernon, as they still do, but the hundreds, first to see the great man himself. then, after his death, to see martha washington. because like many first ladies, martha washington in the popular mind represented her husband. even after his death, they still wanted to meet her, to talk to her, to touch her hand. it was a way to have a sort of daisy chain of touching the past and the great days of the nation. martha washington was terrific. she was friendly, generous, kind, charming. she set precedents of dignity and devotion that are well followed. she was the worthy partner of the incomparable george washington, and she set the standards for others to follow as the first first lady. thank you.

i like what george washington said in his farewell address. he said, we fought the revolutionary war, and we won it. we wrote the constitution, we signed it, and we gave this nation an excellent government. now what i'd like to do before i die and before my generation dies is pay off the entire national debt. i don't think our posterity ought to have to pay that either, and he did it within -- not in his lifetime, but within the lifetime of some to have founders -- some of the founders and by the 1830s, the national debt was completely paid off. now, that is leadership. that is quality leadership. [applause] i wrote the book because i thought if my colleagues in the historical profession are going to rank franklin roosevelt ahead of george washington, someone needs to add a dissenting voice. i think the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that roosevelt was not a good president, but the larger point, get it off personalities, these ideas didn't work. we have a case historical study of a ten-year unemployment period or more that where we sustained

it sounds familiar because that is what the british said about george washington in 1776. people bulb like to have enemy troops on their home soil. they may not identify with good government is a bunch of crooks but it is their country. it is a lesson we have failed to learn ove and over and over. could they have controlled the insurgents a better? yes. they could have. but really the best lesson in counterinsurgency, i have seen all of these tax breaks, i do not invade to begin with. then you don't have that. who else? santa and i? -- santa anna? icahn of the greatest scallywag he was president 12 times. not as acting or interim or temporary these are then it went over there just to have their heads. i blame him more than any other individual for mexico's sorry condition and a sham of a nation by the 1840's because he was the most prominent of those who took over from 1821 and have the ability to build a great country but instead tried to cut each other's throats every chance they could and would line their pockets then they would reach out and grab every bit of treasury

george washington will probably be the first president. we all know that and we all tress and admire him. -- trust and admirehim. him. they said it needs to be spelled out. the more they insisted that it needed to be spelled out, the more they would get that back up. it was not until the very end, the last two states were madison and hamilton said when the new government takes place, our first order of business will be to read the bill of rights. it was and it was passed a year later. madison wrote it. >> when you did that work, which wanted to like the best? of madison? >> i really admired madison pensio. he was a scholar and intellectual all of his life. when he started to ratify the bill of rights, he called him on a separate trip and said all of these nice speeches you gave are wonderful, but that is not what you have to do. you have to get down in the dirt and be a politician and cut deals to get this passed where you want not do it. he turned into a really good politician. and that gave madison the background he really needed later t

and george washington was a president. but we know black people fought in the continental army including mike great-grandfather. and that was very important to lincoln did once he understood that the founding fathers of that black men fight and he understood how dire the situation was, vis-À-vis the south, he changed his mind. he met with anti-slavery ministers from ohio on september 14, 1862. and he said if i armed them, the guns will end up in rebel hands within a week because these people are not manly. but he changed his mind and he fell in love with this group of black soldiers. he called them his 200,000 black warriors. so here's the ultimate irony. of this trajectory that would trace in the film and the book. the last speech lincoln gibbs, last speech of his life, april 11, 1865. the south is capitulated the day before. all these people go to the white house. is nighttime. and they are chanting, lincoln, lincoln. and finally lincoln comes to the bounty of the second tour of the white house and flings open the window

when george washington went on his first break from office, it took the better part of a week over terribly rough roads to travel from philadelphia to mount vernon. the other thing about it is that washington established two precedents. one, presidents are entitled to a break from their daily rue tin. and, two, the work of the presidency goes with them wherever they are. in washington's case, he supervised the building of the city, which was to bear his name. this city, washington's city. the city of washington. >> the kennedys at high answer port, the bush family walkers point in maine. >> it became a blur of activity. it was president bush, the first president bush wint for a two mile run in the morning. he followed that with speed golf, going through 18 holes at about half the time most people did. he came back to the house maybe for tennis or a swim. he then went out to sea in his speed boat. i called it a heart stopping jaunt. he fished. he came back. if there were fish to clean, he cleaned them. and then toward the end of the day played highly competitive horse shoes. he was, some peo

you know, i think this occurred when george washington's ratings were down and they were trading underthe buttonwood tree. to expand on this point, maybe this is a vote, at least in this case, for capitalism. maybe people are thinking, oh, my gosh, this won't be one big government thing. there will be a more capitalistic approach as obama's ratings power goes down. it is historic. in fact, when the approval ratings are under 50, the market is up, on average, about 9.2%. there is an historical biased. the market generally does go up more than go down. maybe this is the obama rally. i wish nancy was around to talk about that. >> i think it has a lot to do with theel fact that wall street likes it when washington can't do anything. >> log jams. >> any president, republican, democrat. >> when you have a republican in office or democrat in congress, or vice versa, not much happens in washington, wall street likes it. with approval ratings below 50%, the stocks are up. when it is over 65% -- i have a new timing system for the market now. i literally will look at the formula and then add in t
