RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - LincolnToddFan - 08-24-2014
Oh gosh Roger...it bears an uncanny resemblance to the legendary Lincoln home at 8th and Jackson in Springfield, Il...even though I realize it isn't!
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 08-24-2014
Toia, that's what I thought when I posted this!
Hint #1: Besides being a President he was also a Vice-President.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - LincolnToddFan - 08-24-2014
Chester Arthur?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 08-24-2014
Good guess, Toia, but it's not him.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - PaigeBooth - 08-24-2014
Harry Truman or Millard Filmore?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 08-24-2014
Excellent, Paige! It is the Millard Fillmore house in Buffalo, NY. The home is no longer standing. Paige, you win very best wishes for a nice Sunday!

Thank you, Mr. Norton-- and also thanks for all the great trivia questions! They're a lot of fun.

Word has it that on president's favorite food reads as follows: beef jerky, nachos, tacos, guacamole, chile, refried beans, hamburgers, hot dogs, barbecued ribs, candy, popcorn, ice cream and cake. Whose?

That sounds like a universal list of everyone's favorite foods.
But I'll say Ronald Reagan

Very good guess, Tom, but it's not RR's list.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 08-27-2014
George Bush?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 08-27-2014
Which one?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 08-27-2014
George H Bush
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 08-27-2014
Kudos, Gene! It was actually your second-to--last post here:

...that made me think of this:
Q. Mr. President, have you lost the broccoli vote?
Q. What about it, since you brought it up?
Q. Yes, can you give us a broccoli statement?
The President. Now, look, this is the last statement I'm going to have on broccoli. [Laughter] There are truckloads of broccoli at this very minute descending on Washington. My family is divided. [Laughter] I do not like broccoli. [Laughter] And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid, and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli. [Laughter]
Wait a minute. For the broccoli vote out there, Barbara loves broccoli. [Laughter] She's tried to make me eat it. She eats it all the time herself. So, she can go out and meet the caravan of broccoli that's coming in from Washington. [Laughter]
Q. Cauliflower?
Q. Lima beans?
Q. Brussels sprouts?
[At this point, the President made a thumbs-down gesture.]
Q. Ah-ha, thumbs down on brussels sprouts.
See the President's News Conference, March 22, 1990:

The list BTW reads on: "Even something healthy, like yogurt or oat bran, he would have spiced up with Butterfingers."

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - LincolnToddFan - 08-27-2014
That was George H's finest moment as president...standing up to the broccoli tyrants! They even tried to force the issue by driving a truckload of it right up to the WH gates. But he refused to meet with them and sent the First Lady out instead. I don't blame him...I hate broccoli too!
Fight the power!!
