He should go crazy over Grover Cleveland and absolutely wild about Woodrow Wilson. James Madison isn’t bad, either. Personally, I’m partial to Thomas Jefferson.

i can’t remember what tv show, but one did go out and randomly interview folks on the street, asking them “other than flying a kite, what was Franklin famous for?”. not one in the ten or so they flashed on the screen came up with false teeth, spectacle, or anything else correct (most answered with being on a 50[!!] or 100 dollar bill).
