Well, guess what. He was an aristocratic, wealthy, Republican that really never had to work a day in his life.

Well folks nationwide have consistently rated old Teddy in the top 10 most influential and popular Presidents-- and if you have to attack him to attack me, it makes me feel quite special....![]()
The other President that I respect for his influence and accomplishments is also in the top 10- Dwight D. Eisenhower....
Now, I think the history of anti-poverty efforts is, is that the most important anti-poverty effort is growing the economy and making sure there are enough jobs out there -- single most important thing we can do. It's more important than any program we could set up. It's more important than any transfer payment that we could have. If we can grow the economy faster and create more jobs, then everybody is swept up into that virtuous cycle.

The Rewriting of history tends to have that affect, but it doesn't help the present situation out when trying to improve things.

Or could it be that history has shown the benefits of their administrations and accomplishments? Many of the issues they attacked head on- and projects they took on were very unpopular at the time they were doing it- but years later have been shown to have been very smart moves....
Too bad old GW didn't take some lessons from Teddy and enforce anti-trust laws- and we wouldn't have had the "too big to fails" he had to bail out- and may have avoided the Bush Bust....
Reid gets pushback on dairy commercial

Sen. Harry Reid is getting some pushback on his most recent TV commercial, the one in which he is credited with saving jobs at Anderson Dairy in Las Vegas.
In the commercial, Anderson chief David Coon says, "Federal regulations were driving us out of business. There was a lot of worry in the faces of our employees." The dairy employed 130 people.
But Reid in 2006 changed the dairy law "so that Anderson could compete. And save the jobs," according to the ad. And Coon says: "Because of Senator Reid, we continue to stay in business."
The law exempted Nevada dairy processors from federal raw milk pricing rules, in the process making permanent an exemption Reid had obtained in 1999 for Las Vegas, where Anderson Dairy was the only bottler.
But Ed Goedhart, a manager at Ponderosa Dairy at Amargosa Valley, and a Republican assemblyman, says the commercial tells only part of the story. While the exemption has been beneficial for Anderson Dairy because it does not have to pay federally regulated prices for raw milk, it has been less so for Nevada dairy farmers who raise and milk the cows.
"When Sen. Reid carved out an exemption for Anderson Dairy – which, by the way, milks no cows – he allowed cheaper ‘overbase’ milk – drinking milk produced in excess of government caps – to flow into Nevada from California, Arizona and Utah, which allows Anderson Dairy to pad their profit margin," Goedhart said in statement in a response to the commercial.
"That’s a great deal for Anderson Dairy; however, Ponderosa Dairy – an actual production dairy, not a processing-only dairy – now has to truck its milk all the way to California in order to get the full “Class 1” allowable price for drinking milk. Then some of our same trucks pick up cheap overbase milk from California and bring it to Anderson Dairy in Las Vegas.
"Ponderosa Dairy now has to ship its milk to California, while California ships its cheaper overbase milk to Nevada. We call it the ‘milk loop’ – and it eats up over a million gallons of diesel fuel, costing us millions of dollars a year in higher trucking costs. The Ponderosa is only 80 miles from Las Vegas, but now we have to ship our milk 280 miles to southern California," Goedhart said.
"If (Anderson Dairy) was not exempted out of the milk marketing order, we could have put my trucks right down to Las Vegas," Goedhart said Friday. The price of milk at the supermarket, he said, is no cheaper in Las Vegas than it is in California or Utah as a result of the government action.
Ponderosa milks more than 9,000 cows, making it the largest dairy in Nevada. Goedhart said the dairy set aside any thought to expand instate and instead has invested over $100 million in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas dairies over the past eight years.
"When a rock is thrown into a pond, don’t look at just the splash," Goedhart said. "Also look at the ripples that extend across the entire pond. In this case, the jobs ‘saved’ at Anderson Dairy were at the expense of thousands of other jobs in Nevada."
