[VIDEO] Today is President's Day and it is more than appropriate to share Mr. Beat's recent video about the Iceberg of Presidential Fact. It's a bit of a metaphor and it uses a chart with an iceberg background to categorize these fact. The metaphor is to show that most of an iceberg is below the surface of an ocean and therefore perhaps most of these facts might be unknown to the general public.
What facts in this almost 23 min. video surprised you the most?
As an aside, I'm very sorry that I failed to mark President Abraham Lincoln's birthday which was observed last Monday, February 13, 2023 although it's actually on February 12th. I had to look it up!
Come to think of it President George Washington was born on February 22 so in a couple of days another Presidential Birthday.
Washington's Birthday is a federal holiday we know as Presidents' Day. Of course according to Wikipedia it's still Washington's Birthday in Illinois and nine other states. Lincoln's Birthday is a holiday in Illinois and eleven other states.
I never appreciated these holidays when I was still in school. It was a day off from school and I liked that!
