Actually, this is not George Washington. He was the first under the current constitution. However, there were 7 before him under the Articles of Confederation (they had the title: President of the United States in Congress Assembled). The first was John Hanson from November 5, 1781 until November 3, 1782. Under the articles, these guys had very little power, so we don't hear much about them.

Sir:\n\nWe congratulate the American people upon your re-election by a large majority. If resistance to the Slave Power was the reserved watchword of your first election, the triumphant war cry of your re-election is Death to Slavery.\n\nFrom the commencement of the titanic American strife the workingmen of Europe felt instinctively that the star-spangled banner carried the destiny of their class. The contest for the territories which opened the dire epopee, was it not to decide whether the virgin soil of immense tracts should be wedded to the labor of the emigrant or prostituted by the tramp of the slave driver?\n\nWhen an oligarchy of 300,000 slaveholders dared to inscribe, for the first time in the annals of the world, "slavery" on the banner of Armed Revolt, when on the very spots where hardly a century ago the idea of one great Democratic Republic had first sprung up, whence the first Declaration of the Rights of Man was issued, and the first impulse given to the European revolution of the eighteenth century; when on those very spots counterrevolution, with systematic thoroughness, gloried in rescinding "the ideas entertained at the time of the formation of the old constitution", and maintained slavery to be "a beneficent institution", indeed, the old solution of the great problem of "the relation of capital to labor", and cynically proclaimed property in man "the cornerstone of the new edifice" — then the working classes of Europe understood at once, even before the fanatic partisanship of the upper classes for the Confederate gentry had given its dismal warning, that the slaveholders' rebellion was to sound the tocsin for a general holy crusade of property against labor, and that for the men of labor, with their hopes for the future, even their past conquests were at stake in that tremendous conflict on the other side of the Atlantic. Everywhere they bore therefore patiently the hardships imposed upon them by the cotton crisis, opposed enthusiastically the proslavery intervention of their betters — and, from most parts of Europe, contributed their quota of blood to the good cause.\n\nWhile the workingmen, the true political powers of the North, allowed slavery to defile their own republic, while before the Negro, mastered and sold without his concurrence, they boasted it the highest prerogative of the white-skinned laborer to sell himself and choose his own master, they were unable to attain the true freedom of labor, or to support their European brethren in their struggle for emancipation; but this barrier to progress has been swept off by the red sea of civil war.\n\nThe workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world. [B]\n\nSigned on behalf of the International Workingmen's Association, the Central Council:

We didn't know enough about him.  The problem with bashing your opponent is that your own message doesn't reach the voters.  I only found out today that Angelides is the son of immigrants who scrimped and saved to send him to an Ivy League university.  I'd have liked to hear about his past accomplishments, in addition to what his plans for the future might have been.  As for Arnold, I'm glad that foreign-born people are not eligible for the presidency.

If you read the article from Wikipedia about John Hanson it will tell you that calling him the first president of the United States is inaccurate.

It began after the First Continental Congress?  LMAO..  Research it, using wikipedia, the encyclopedia and other sources.  Then report as if you are a star chasing paparazzi, clamoring to view Washington's newest girl, Franklin's bling bling and Jefferson's mixed kids....have fun with it.

Your quote is from Alexis de Tocqueville, who was a member of the French Aristocracy and favored monarchy over democracy. He came to America shortly after the French Revolution to study democracy up close and personal. He didn't like it much, but why would he? He had it pretty good under the French monarchical system. At least understand what it is you're ranting about.

John Hancock was one of the leading men that spurred on the American Revolution. I looked at a couple of links, but the one below is short and concise and speaks directly with details regarding most of his patriotic activities (if you can get a copy of his speech after the Boston Massacre - that is what really brought him to the attention of the public at-large).
