Lincoln's logs, rather than slavery? FDR is wheelchair? Why not just say Obama's black, while you're at it?

Right Obama-Black it fits. The first black president, even though he is half white.
Washington-determined, that would best describe him.
Lincoln-Emancipation, know it or not it killed the Confederacy.
Adams-Bicameralism
Jefferson-Abolitionist but banisher, exterminator, brilliant would work, it is hard to determine the best word. It is interesting and ironic a slave owner who detested slavery, but had no choice but to keep his slaves because of his debts.
Bush Sr.-indecisive, though his generals were very decisive, he failed to finish the job.
Teddy Roosevelt-expansionist, imperialistic.
FDR-Hard as nails, wheelchair or not.
Nixon-not a crook

interesting thread here though
