(15,137 posts)44. OK, I cannot resist. One of the best quotes ever, courtesy of Teddy Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Teddy made sure we got a square deal, and he was a tireless reformer.
Biden is still early in his administration, but he's looking every bit like a progressive Bull Moose.

What about Eisenhower? Also, Teddy Roosevelt was not a conservative, he was a progressive.

Did he get Pete Souza, Obama's photographer, back? That's an excellent photo.
