Andrew Jackson: Good, Evil & The Presidency
“
I don't remember the channel,
but Martin Sheen narrated a KenBurnsesque Documentary on Andrew Jackson
last night that fascinatingly paralelled today's politics in many ways.
Some considered him an emporer; he tried to kill America (but actually
saved it).....very very interesting. Watch it if you come across it.
Simon Kenton once beat his butt in a bar fight in Danville, Kentucky.
There is also the question as to whether he had the same problem that BHO has. Word has it he was born at sea on a ship from Ireland and not South Carolina.
Good show. He was depicted as a power hungry devil by many yet did stop the banks from a government takeover. He liked his slavery. As his biographer in 1859 put it - "Andrew Jackson was a patriot and a traitor." As I put it in 2009 - "Barry aint no patriot."

PBS programmed the thing to auto start for some reason. Nuh-uh. You'll have to go to the site. Why do I fool with PBS?
