He resigned so he could personally go look for them...\n\nJust remember, he is doing a bang up job, but not bang up enough now that the election went the way it did. (kinda like the old head of FEMA?)

GEORGE WASHINGTON  •  U.S. President / Military Leader / Revolutionary War Figure \n \nGeorge Washington is often called "the father of his country" for his crucial role in fighting for, creating and leading the United States of America in its earliest days. Washington was a surveyor, farmer and soldier who rose to command the colonial forces in the Revolutionary War. His success in the war made him a tremendously popular figure in America even after he retired to his farm at Mount Vernon in 1783. He was the natural choice to serve as the country's first president in 1789 after the new United States Constitution was ratified. He served two terms, refused a third, and returned to his Virginia farm. In 1798 he was again commissioned as commander in chief of the army, a title he held until his death 18 months later. He was succeeded as president by John Adams. \nExtra credit: Washington married the widow Martha Dandridge Custis in 1759; they had no children together, but Washington adopted Martha's children John and Martha... Washington was land-rich but often cash-poor, and had to borrow money in order to get to his first inauguration... Washington had false teeth but, contrary to popular rumor, they were not made of wood. According to the Mount Vernon official site, Washington's dentures "were probably more uncomfortable than wood. They were made of cow's teeth, human teeth, and elephant ivory set in a lead base with springs that allowed him to open and close his mouth"... The story of Washington chopping down a cherry tree is also not true; it was invented by an early biographer of Washington, Parson Mason Weems.    \nOne more thing, they did not use powder to make their hair \nwhite, in that era men wore wigs to make them look more \ndistinguished,,,,, don't figure lol.

Now he's become the national village idiot.  It's sad really.  Send him home, he spends more time there than in the White House anyway.

Yes, $$.  But also moral.  Washington suffered a string of significant defeats.  Moral was low because of that.  Then the conscripting period was coming to and end and many soldier wanted to go home.  One also cannot discount the huge task of communications in those days when there were no phones and such.  There is a reaaallly good movie recommended by public schools to its students to understand this topic.  A&E's "The Crossing", starring Jeff Daniels as George Washington.

He was a Virginia statesman who wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which became the foundation for the United States Constitution.\n\nAnd he had a university named after him, which has made it to the elite 8 - remarkably.  That, however unfortunate for the school that bears his name, will be as far as the team goes (speculation).

When elected President George Washington did not belong to a political party.  However, towards the end of his life and administration, it became clear that he favored the Federalist position (John Adams, Alexander Hamilton) as opposed to that of Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, etc.

Assuming you’re talking about the big “W” George Washington, being born in 1732 he would be roughly 274 years old.  If you’re talking about Washington D.C. established in 1791, it’s 215 years old; if you’re talking about Booker T. Washington born in 1856, he would have been 150 years old this past April 5th.  If you’re talking about old man Washington who lives up the road, I think he’s about 66 year old. \n\nIf your Washington isn’t one of these, please be more specific.

this is one of those times you need to just throw your political feelings out the window and keep an open mind.  add to it the fact that the story is not yet finished and it's hard to predict what will happen to mr. cheney, and (more importantly) harry whittington.  \n\ni don't know if there is any legal precedent for having a sitting vice president be removed from office for an offense like this.  mr. cheney is very unpopular with many people (including me) because of his political views, but i have to feel a little bit for the guy because it was, after all, an 'accident'.  i don't agree with the fact cheney hasn't addressed the issue... but saying 'impeach him' because of this incident is a knee-jerk reaction by those who didn't like him last week either.  i'm gonna read up more and see where this story leads before continuing...\n\nps::: well i see where mr. whittington was released from the hospital, so thankfully your scenario won't play out.  i am very curious though about the 'holes' in cheney's story.  \n\npps::: it's funny, at first i felt sorry for the vice-president, but now that whittington is ok, my feeling has turned more toward disgust with cheney.  i wonder why this is?

He was probably told by the President that he was not going to be staying.\nHe didn't cut and run.\nHe was fired.

Louisana Purchase was a pretty successful move.\nI'm not sure if it rates as a failure, but the vice president shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Thank goodness they don't turn VPs loose with guns anymore.

George Washington is often credited with the survival of Democracy. Why? Because after two terms, he stepped down  from the Presidency. He could have been king. But, instead, he was humble.\n\nOthers:\n\nEvery since board of directors elected CEO's and started selling stocks, the CEO's main and only duty is to make money for the stock holders,  and ............. the heck with morality.
