And I know I had dogeared all sorts of quotes that were different from what I picked out the last time, and I was looking forward to sharing new aspects of this president that I actually admired (for the most part).Īt one point, I was reading this at work and dropped the book and when I went to pick it up it had apparently got caught under the leg of the chair I was sitting in? And this happened:Įarlier this week, I broke my copy of The Rise Of Theodore Roosevelt, as seen here: /pXbzfU4PEf I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY WHITE MAN OVER THE AGE OF 50 IN THE PRIMARY, I DON’T GIVE A FUCK. (**) As long as that someone is a Democrat and under the age of 50, and preferably, not a straight white man. That I do not like about Teddy Roosevelt. (*) One thing I did learn in this re-read was that Teddy was very much a nationalist – one of the first times I can recall seeing someone in politics wrap patriotism up in a nationalist tone. I decided to re-read the book this past spring because … because! HAVE YOU BEEN ALIVE THIS YEAR?! If so, good for you! And while I am aware that Teddy Roosevelt can be very problematic(*), I would give ANYTHING to have someone(**) like Teddy Roosevelt leading the government again. KEY WORD: “attempt.” I think we all know how great I’ve been about keeping to deadlines and routines and such. This book kicked off my attempt to read something about American History every April. Feel free to click the next link below, read the real review of this book I did back in 2011, and then come back when I’ve read my next silly little romance novel. (Or don’t enjoy this review because I show a lot about my political leanings in here.
Enjoy this review, kids – it’s gonna be short!
