You know what they say about a man with big feet....

So the latest far right wing fundraising effort...err...outrage is that President Obama is disrespecting the Presidency and the Resolute Desk itself by putting his feet up while conducting his POTUS business. It was started by the Blaze and now the Tea Party is pulling out all the stops to collect donations on this phony controversy. The Tea Party fundraising page failed to show President George W. Bush and President Johnson striking a similar pose in the Oval office. I still don't understand why people are duped  and baited by these phony controversies but that's 'merica I suppose....

On a much more serious and important note. You wanna know what really caught my attention with these Presidential feet on the desk pics?? Check out the size discrepancy between President Obama and President Bush shoes:

 

I wondered if there is a correlation between shoe size and intelligence or shoe size and presidential performance but first I had to find some basic shoe size info for previous Presidents.

I know what you are thinking. Is there really a website that compares presidential shoe sizes?? And sure enough, there is! Check this out: http://www.shoesofthepresidents.com/footwearfacts.htm

• President Teddy Roosevelt: Size 9.5D
• President Hoover: Size 11.5AA
• President Truman: Size 9
• President Kennedy: Size 10
• President Reagan: Size 10.5
• President George H.W. Bush: Size 11
• President Clinton: Size 13D
• President George W. Bush: Size 10.5E
• President Obama: Size 12

Now..someone with more brains and more time and more statistical know-how will have to figure out if there is any real correlations between shoe size and presidential performance or shoe size and intelligence but in my very unscientific and unresearched opinion, I think there may actually be some truth to this hypothesis based soley on the President who wore the largest shoe.

The President with the largest shoe size is....President Lincoln who wore a size 14 shoe!! Incredible! He used those size 14 shoes to stamp out slavery, pass the 13th Amendment and to hold the country together during the Civil War. He wore size 14 shoes, big socks and ran this country Like a BOSS!
