and danced the night away. But now it's morning in America --
time
to face the Oval Office. It's YOUR chance to be President of the United
States. Let's see how you do. Other fun clicks include silly
things

THE PRESIDENTS - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/presidents/
There is much to learn about the presidency by studying the men who
occupied the office. All of the characters are complex and all of their
stories surprising. Their lives and careers provide us a panoramic view
of America. The Presidents Web site draws on the research
done
for eight PBS television specials portraying seven
presidents
and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
