To all Americans:

Congratulations on electing a President (which is one step further than you got last time!).

My favourite President remains James Polk.

But Polk was the man who linked the Texas issue to the Oregon question! Surely, you can't compare that to a man whose one claim to fame is merely being the eighth President.

On the other hand, the term " O.K. " was popularized because of Van Buren. Van Buren was from Kinderhook, New York, sometimes referred to as Old Kinderhook in speeches and print." O.K. " clubs soon formed to support Van Buren's campaign for the presidency and " OK " came to mean all right.

And, Martin Van Buren and his wife, Hannah Hoes, spoke Dutch at home, so maybe he's related to Todd Gak.
