A name that is generally used as a nickname for the 26th president of the united states. He disliked being called teddy and prefered that people adress him by his rank. While growing up, Mr. Roosevelt had severe asthma, to the point where he had to sleep standing up sometimes. He was picked on for this, and his father encouraged him to take up boxing for self defense, he became experianced and practiced it in college, at Harvard.
He decided to retire to the badlands after his fall through with politics and his first wife's death. He became a deputy sheriff, and one time, he hunted down 3 men who had stolen his river boat. After a particularly bad winter where he lost most of his cattle he decided to move back east.
He married again and became interested in politics once more. In the 1900 election he was put on the republican ballot as v-p to McKinnley (the republicans feared him, for even though he was a part of their party he was too radical, so they decided to let him be v-p one time to quench his desire to hold office, they belived that he would step down afterwards). Unfortunatly for the republicans, McKinnley was shot in 1901 by some anarchist.
Mr. Roosevelt quickly started to change the way things ran, he started breaking up trusts; he was the first president to do so, which resulted in his nickname the "trustbuster". Whenever he did not get his way in congress, he would give a speech to the public, then the public would complain to their senators and representitives until Mr. Roosevelt got his way. He labled the white house a "bully pulpit" which was the perfect place for him to give his speeches.
Quick things about Mr. Roosevelt:
-one of the first presidents to have his voice recorded
-first predient to settle a labor dispute
-first,(and I believe only) president to win the nobel peace prize
-he set up a group of soliders known as the "rough riders" during the Spanish American War and they kicked ass
-he got the rights for the Panama Canal to be built
-he set off huge acres of land in America for conservation
-he liked to hunt wild animals for sport, he killed mountain lions with knives ocasionally
His presidency lasted from 1901-1909. His hand picked sucsesor, Taft, became the next president. Many of Taft's decisions enraged Mr. Roosevelt, which caused him to create the bull moose party and run for re-election in 1912. During one of his speeches Mr. Roosevelt was shot in the chest, but a folded copy of his 50 page speech and his glasses case in his chest pocket slowed the bullet. He hypothisized that the bullet did no major damage based on the fact that he was not coughing up blood. He continued the speech with, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."; he decided not to have the bullet removed and he lived with it for the rest of his life.
Theodore Roosevelt was one of the countries greatest preidents and is currently ranked as number 5-6 on many surveys.

qoute about Teddy Roosevelt after his death: "Death had to take him sleeping, for if Roosevelt had been awake there would have been a fight"

One of the finest Presidents in US history as he put the interests of the nation above his political party. Even though he was a Republican, TR fought against child labor and corporate monopolies on oil and the RR. He supported the Pure Food and Drug Act which helped keep contaminated food and beverages out of the supermarket. Through mediating peace between Russia and Japan and sending the Great White Fleet out for nationalistic and humanitarian purposes, TR proved the US was a major player in global affairs.

When you have had so much sex with a lady that she can no longer walk. A reference to former president Franklin Roosevelt, who had polio for most of his life and was confined to a wheel chair. This term is believed to have originated on the campus of the University of Central Florida.
"Man, did you hear me crank that Roosevelt on her last weekend? She hasn't been able to walk for 2 days".

The most boujiest school it’s really lame the students don’t gaf all of them always higher than their grades. The teachers and staff act like they care but they just there for the money. Some teachers let you have a passing grade just so you won’t be stuck with them for another year. You can walk freely around the school anytime no one will tell you nothing. Has a lot of hoes and fuckboys too that have stds. bathrooms where they have sex and really dirty

The most kick ass president in the history of the United States. He was a cowboy, liked hunting, and was a man's man, except for his name,but we'll overlook that.
His only mistake ever was not killing a bear while it was caught in a trap, causing his name to be associated with stuffed toys that little children molest at night.

Northeast Philadelphia's finest raceway. 45 mph is the speed limit, but cars go way past that. Expect to get killed if you try to cross the street.
Guy 1: "Yo, I just saw a drunk driver go the wrong way on Roosevelt Boulevard and they almost destroyed that other car."
Guy 2: "No surprises on Roosevelt Boulevard."
