Euh... Vraiment? Calvin Coolidge fut Président de 1923 à 1929. Michele Bachmann a raison lorsqu'elle lui attribue le mérite d'avoir ramené un peu de stabilité à la Maison Blanche après les scandales liés à son prédécesseur William Harding (qui meurt d'un infarctus). L'héritage de Coolodge est cependant bien loin de faire l'unanimité chez les historiens. Un choix étrange de la part de Bachmann...
"In an interview with ABC News, Rep. Michele Bachmann was asked for her thoughts on who should be the fifth president on Mount Rushmore. After giving the obligatory nod to Reagan, the Minnesota Congresswoman went off into somewhat more unusual territory. First, she began angling up to answering James Garfield, apparently on the grounds that he was the last president to move to the oval office from the House of Representatives. However, just before concluding there, she switched horses to Calvin Coolidge on the grounds that “he got the country’s budget back on track.”
“He was a taking-care-of-business kind of guy,” she concluded."
