Today, I got into an argument with a 7 year old. He said that Obama was the 44th President, I said he was the 42nd. Guess who was right. FML

Actually, neither of them was right. Obama is technically the 43d President... Grover Cleveland was the only U.S President to serve two NON-consecutive terms, and therefore he was counted as TWO presidents. So, if you choose to be technical (Like me), Obama is the 43d.

Don't get in arguments with seven year olds. He probably read it off a poster at school. The end.

mmmh... beats the president of my country for shizzle!!

YDI. Even I know that and I don't even live in your country.

Rofl. #20. Good shit. I like to start arguments with anyone under eight. That way I always win. If it comes down to it..I can always beat them up and take their milk money!

Instead of quibbling about the number (44 is correct), you should have said that we are lucky to be living while we have one of our greatest presidents ever in office. You can tell the kid that Obama is right up there with Washington, Lincoln and FDR. You can also tell him that we survived the worst president in history, George W. Bush.

It pays to have an education. YDI. Especially since every time they mention Obama they say "Obama the 44th President." Although I do tend to agree with #13...if we're going to count Cleveland twice, why don't we count EVERY Election as a new presidency? In theory we should be at president 55 (Not including those that held office due to assassination/death in office etc.)
