Wise man. Should have been president. ;-)
My favorite president.
I like it when he and all his clones hang out in my purse!
I'm sure it's a Coach or at least an Aignet :-)

We need more of his kind in politics today.
I think that Jackson stopped saying things like that after a lone lunatic tried to kill him. In 1811-Hamilton's bank charter expired and the international bankers precipitated the war of 1812. By 1816 another privately-owned U.S. bank was started up...When the 1816 charter expired in 1836 - President Andrew Jackson VETOED IT! It was at this time that Jackson made his three famous statements. First, Jackson told Van Buren according to the National Geographic Society: 'The Bank is trying to kill me - but I will kill it.' Second he said, 'If the American people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system - there would be a revolution before morning...'; Third, 'You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out and by the eternal God - I will rout you out...'...For his courageous words and action - there was an assassination attempt on President Jackson - but by the grace of God - both pistols, only inches from his chest, misfired!
Jackson called a private central bank a "den of vipers" then nearly gets killed. Almost like Kennedy, who used an executive order to put America back on the Silver Standard, rescuing it from the Federal Reserve (a private central bank), but he acutally got killed.
The Kennedy situation is often misunderstood. But Jackson is my favorite president because he fought the bankers with all his power.
