Ladies and Gentlemen, the Presidents of the United States
Forty-four presidents (including a new one on Tuesday), forty-four presidential portraits, and forty-four sites about their lives and times.By Harry McCracken | Monday, January 19, 2009 at 8:04 am
On Tuesday, Barack Obama will make history when he’s sworn in as the forty-fourth president of the United States of America. Let’s pause to reflect on how how we got here: Here are the president-elect and his forty-three predecessors (counting Grover Cleveland as two presidents, of course). Click on any or all of ’em, and you’ll go to relevant sites around the Web. (I tried to be nonpartisan; many of them are the appropriate presidential libraries.)
And if you’re less interested in presidencies past and more interested in the one that’s about to start, check out my friend and former colleague Mark Sullivan’s guide to following the inauguration on the Web over at PCWorld.com.

Obama’s bringing back the “no smile” presidential portrait. The slightly curled lip of determination is quite FDR-esque.

And yet Andrew Johnson links to “www.impeach-andrewjohnson.com”. 🙂

Andy: I hope that’s not YOU, President Johnson–if it it, I linked to the impeachment site for its historical value, not by way of criticism, sir…

This is interesting to see. Tomorrow will indeed be a day to remember. It is admirably a peaceful transition taking place, one of the most peaceful I have seen in my days. No matter which way you voted, whether you are watching at home or in person taking pictures it is a day to remember.

It was very kind of you to make The Franklin Pierce Pages the go-to website for those clicking on the handsome image of the 14th president.

I think the Presidents should bring back the curled wig look. Or anyone for that matter. I just want to see someone who wears one of those and has to be taken seriously 🙂

obviously like your web-site but you need to check the spelling on several of your posts.
Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find
it very troublesome to inform the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
