100 Years Ago

Let me see, uhm.

Was it only 100 years ago that the Roosevelt administration was replaced with a new President?

Yes, I guess it was.

The 27th President was about to take over.

Who was it? What was his background?

Here he is:
Post Presidential 10th Chief Justice of the U.S.
Family member of a political dynasty.
Republican.
World peace advocate verging on pacifism.
World known for his foreign postings in his career.
Trust busting, improvements to both the I.C.C. and U.S.P.S. were all part of his presidential work. All were seriously effected by his administration.

So, do you give up?

William Howard Taft 1857 1930 age 52 when sworn in.

I most recall reading of Taft and his allegedly being the cause of Roosevelt starting the 'Bull Moose' party (The Progressive Party).

So now you know. So do you think the politics of the country are at all similar today?

Didn't McCain wrest the party form the Republicans? Didn't Obama wrest the party from the Clinton's?
Didn't McCain come from a self made dynasty in politics? Isn't Obama a self made dynasty in politics?

What are we in for?

Fare has been paid. This trip has been almost as horrifyingly remembered as:

On a cold mid spring day, a lady tried to pet a calf moose in the walkway to a classroom building on the campus of the University of Alaska in Anchorage. She was stomped to death by the cow moose. They put down the mother moose.

Are we about to have such a perplexing experience?
