Know Your President: Week Thirteen

Party: Democratic

Fact One: He signed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, cementing him as one of the great presidents for at least attempting to end the disenfranchisement of African-American voters. 

Fact Two: Are you one of the many Americans who has Medicare or Medicaid? If so, then you should thank this president. 

Fact Three: Before this president there were tons of agencies floating around under different jurisdictions that all dealt with transportation. This president established the Department of Transportation to bring all of them together and to help deal with the calls from consumers to make roads less dangerous.

Fact Four: He signed one of the most restrictive Federal gun laws ever. The law prohibited convicted felons, drug dealers, and mentally ill people from purchasing a handgun. 

Fact Five:  This president famously ordered his tailor to give him some extra room down there for his genitals. He was well-known for talking about his penis to staffers. 

Quotes: 
“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.”
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
“See if you can’t leave me an inch from where the zipper ends, round, under my back to bunghole, so I can let it out there if I need it.”
