I love Cracked. :) But they left out the part where Theodore Roosevelt had a starring role in an episode of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles in which Young Indiana Jones taught Teddy an important lesson in wildlife conservation after watching Teddy shoot billions of large African mammals for s**ts and giggles.
Edit: That came out a bit more snarky than I had hoped. I really do admire Teddy for his efforts in setting aside millions of acres of land for parks and preserves.

While campaigning for a third term, Roosevelt was shot by a madman and, instead of treating the wound, delivered his campaign speech with the bleeding, undressed bullet hole in his chest. On the other end of the spectrum, reasons why certain members of the Cracked Editorial Staff have called out of work over the last year include:
"A cold."
"A stubbed toe."
"It's raining."
"There's a spider near the door."
And yet, there's a stuffed toy named for him. Now THAT's a badass president.

Abraham Lincoln was a bit of a bad ass in a Thunderdome way...
He once almost fought a duel with broadswords in a pit on an island in the middle of a river. His opponent got wise and called off the duel before the fight commenced.

Charles Dickinson killed 26 people in his dueling career and was considered the best shot in the country. Jackson killed his face off because he insulted his wife.
I kinda wish that we could settle debates here on Plime like that.

Jackson was a d**k...the SupremeCourt told him that his Cherokee removal plan was to not go forward, and he did it anyway, saying "Just let them try to stop me."
This is likely the first precedent of extra-constitutional executive power and we are seriously paying out the ass in blood for that precedent now...and have been since WWII...
Though he did encourage the broadening of democratic participation...he also went into Florida while an Army general, without orders, just to chase and kill some more natives...before Florida was even part of the country...
He is a badass---in that hypermasculine a*****e sense. Hard to not agree that we might have been better off if JCCalhoun had been hanged...
The 19th century--America's d**khead period.
