Happy President’s Day!
Today used to celebrate just George Washington. Now it honors all our presidents. On my podcast today, I talk about the history of this holiday. I thought it would be fun on the blog to list some campaign slogans from various presidential campaigns. Everyone knows “Make America Great Again,” but do you know any of these others?
