Warren G. Harding & Barack America

Warren G. Harding was an affable US Senator who really, really, liked being a Senator. But the political machine in Ohio really, really, needed a President they could, um, count for favors and things. Warren G. Harding had no real political experience, but he was affable and people liked him.

President Harding died before the end of his first term. A death that was suspicious because he wasn't really ill and his wife refused to let an autopsy be performed. Some people think she poisoned him. Scandal infected his presidency and he was about to be impeached. The Great Depression started like 6 years after he left office.

You can make of this what you want.
