James Knox Polk

There are a few things you need to know about James K. Polk. He was the 11th president, smack dab in the middle of Van Buren and Zachary Taylor. He often gets lost in a sea of successive presidents seemingly forgotten by history. YET! He was the reason the term "dark horse" candidate was invented. Also, James K. Polk fought the Mexican slash American War, won and brought home New Mexico and California. Oh hey West Coast! Can you say Manifest Destiny?? He is applauded for his ability to set and agenda and check off all his presidential goals at the end of 4 years. Some of the presidents I know could have used those tactics! He didn't even need to run again! That's sort of a lie, he died three months out of office. But! his last dying words were to his wife, "I love you Sarah, for all eternity, I love you." What. a. Stud. As if you needed more reason to L-O-V-E love him.
So with no further ado, I present the reincarnated James K. Polk, yes. That's right. My baby turtle. He is only the cutest thing ever, nbd.


Plus!! For your viewing pleasure. A Song.



Look at the little guy in front tweakin' out. I love him, because he loves James K. Polk.
