Superman. Batman. Barack Obama. Our nation's 44th president is a geek, says Matthew Yglesias, because he is a huge comic book nerd. Of course, when Yglesias says "geek" he means it as a compliment, because obviously Obama is just like James Bond or something, so the fact that he reads Spiderman comics doesn't make him a loser, it's just one more of his awesome quirks, like listening to Lil' Wayne or being black.
So I thought, what are some other "fun factoids" about presidents that reveal unnecessary information used to prove that our country's leaders are just like us?
• President Taft was so fat, he once ate a bathtub.
• Roosevelt didn't have polio, he was just lazy.
• George W. Bush hates his dad, just like you!
• Abraham Lincoln was p. racist against Mexicans.
• President Clinton hates his wife, just like you!
• JFK didn't give a fuuuuuuck.
• Once the cameras were off, Nixon kicked the hell out of Checkers.
Barack Obama likes to listen to "The Internationale" when he is feeling down.
Warren G. Harding's middle name was "Goofus."
Millard Fillmore's name was really "Millard Fillmore."
