I read that TR was actually shot before his speech and the bullet didn't kill him because it went through his metal eyeglass case and 50 page speech first.

Great man nonetheless.

Realize he still evaluated his health, realized he was in no immediate danger (and indeed removing the bullet may have lead to complications) and made a judgement call.

"There were all kinds of things I was afraid of at first, ranging from grizzly bears to 'mean' horses and gun-fighters; but by acting as if I was not afraid I gradually ceased to be afraid."

A lady starts her first day at a toy factory in the tickle me elmo department. She gets her instructions from the shift manager and goes to her area on the floor. Some time later he's paid a visit by a worker from the supplies division and a worker from the shipping division.
"She said she was working on your orders and she took a bolt of red felt and a whole case of marbles!"
"We stopped receiveing elmos for packing!"
"I have to justify the requisition!"
"We have a truck driver /waiting/ for shipments."
The shift manage holds up his hands for silence, "Hold on lets just go ask her what the problem is"
So the three of them go to her area on the floor where they find a giant pile of held up elmos, and theres the new worker squinting at the little red sack she was sewing by hand to the nearest elmo.
The shift manager pauses for thought, walks over to her and says, "I said give every elmo Two Test Tickles."

Oddly, the Teddy bear was in fact named for him. He was hunting and hadn't killed anything and his guides found a young bear in a trap. They took him to it, but he refused to shoot it as it wasn't sportsman like. The story got out and a toy maker started calling his bear dolls Teddy Bears. The name stuck and has become the name for all stuffed bears.

"On October 14, 1912, Roosevelt was campaigning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin when a local saloon-keeper shot him. The bullet lodged in his chest after passing through a jacket pocket containing his steel eyeglass case and a copy of his 50 page speech which had been folded in half. Being an anatomist, Roosevelt concluded that since he wasn’t coughing blood the bullet had not penetrated the chest wall into his lung. He declined immediate treatment and gave his 90 minute speech with blood seeping from the wound into his shirt. “Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot,” Roosevelt said, “but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.” :truestoryface:

50 cent was hospitalized for 13 days. I'd give more credit to the doctors and nurses then to him. I don't think being shot 3 times makes you special in any way.

stop talking like an eye glass case and manuscript is Kevlar. Does anyone even know what kind of gun fired the bullet that hit Teddy? What distance it was fired from? Same goes for .50, those factors can be huge for gun shot wounds.

[–]Erzsabet 1 point2 points ago

It was apparently a metal eyeglass case, according to other comments, AND the bullet went through 50 pages of speech as well.

[–]thatsG_barnow 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ok this clears up several potential arguments:

http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/theodore-roosevelt-shot-in-milwaukee

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent#2000.E2.80.9301:_Shooting

And comparison between the .32 caliber (which President Roosevelt was shot with) and the 9mm (which 50 Cent was shot with). The .32 caliber pistol really is without a doubt going to be outclassed by the 9mm. The latter of the two is a far more powerful round. President Roosevelt may have still by quite a bad ass for getting shot but in comparison to 50 cent's shooting, he most likely was not nearly as badly injured.

But aside from that fuck yeah Theodore Roosevelt is one of the greatest Americans of all time.

What CIA_Informant said is true, this image is leaving out that bit of context, and IIRC it wasn't even mid-speech, it was before hand, and the bullet went through his 50 page speech and glasses case first.

There is more than just John Tyler, too. But the central point is that you can't judge history through a glass of nostalgia. Shit happened back then just as it does now. And we can't know how current presidents, or recent presidents for that matter, will be judged in history.

[–]pulloverman 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Word. Legacies can change over time too, the current state of political affairs can have a big impact on how president's are viewed. Take Eisenhower for example, never really thought much as a president until the War on Terror started and someone dug up his Military Industrial Complex quote, then all of a sudden people think he was so profound.

I used to hate on 50 Cent, but he's been using his fame and fortune for some pretty cool shit.

I don't think "whining about it" is fair... The man was shot and more then once I believe. Fuck if I was shot I would tell everyone all the time, it would become my signature story. Maybe I'd become a famous rapper for it and my record company would ask me to keep writing about how I was shot. TR is much > then 50¢

You might think 50 was shot 9 times... Or Teddy 1 time. NOPE. Chuck Testa.
