The greatest President this country has ever had during peacetime. He was a conservative, GOD fearing man. A Republican who broke business monoplies, passed legislation for the Pure Food and Drug Act, worked for labor rights, fought for the preservation of our natural resources and national parks, understood for the necessity of a strong military. My only disagreement with him is that he would have done better to sit out of the 1912 election and wait until 1916 when he could have fully captured the nomination. The split in 1912 only resulted in the election of Woodrow Wilson. If you look at the 1916 election results it was very close. If Roosevelt had run in 1916 (and got the Republican nomination) he would have whipped Wilson up one side and down the other. If we could only have a man like this in office today. (He's my favorite political figure in American history)
