A famous German politician who was mayor of Munich for a long time, but not born in Bavaria, said "a horse born among cows is still a horse".

You do know that Teddy Roosevelt did not think very highly of Churchill? He'd been rude.

Not too sure about Churchill being like Teddy, what was he like on on conversation? And he may not have offered to meditate during the Japanese-Russian War. Unless Churchill and Roosevelt become the American version of Gladstone and Disrailea (sp)...

"Disraeli," like "Israeli" preceded with a "D".

Would Americans really vote to elect a man who was born abroad, however?

Yes, they would.

Though, President, no. Unless it was Alexander Hamilton...

He'd never win. Too many skeletons.
