About The Senator's Wife

I started this blog on a whim thinking it would be fun to write about politics while my husband served in the OK State Senate. The jury's still out on that, but having a front row seat on the sideline of Oklahoma politics has been one big adventure.

Presidential Pop Quiz

Because we’re in the back to school mode around here……..see how well you fare with this presidential history quiz?

Seriously, this is what we do for fun around here…well, that and talk about health care reform.

Good Luck!

1. In American History, only four presidents have been elected while they were serving as vice president. Can you name them?

2. Which President served non-consecutive terms?

3. Which President was the “Bachelor President”?

4. How many presidents were sons of presidents?

5. Why was the White House painted white?

6. Who was the only president who had been Speaker of the House of Representatives?

7. How many served both as Secretary of State and president?

8. Who was the first president to travel outside the continental United States while in office?

9. Who was the youngest man to become president?

10. Five presidents in our history were never elected president. Which presidents achieved the presidency only by succession?

Answers will be posted this weekend…or as soon as the Senator scores a 100%.

Viva La Taylor!

I am not familiar with the artist in this music video, Jon Schmidt, but a good friend of mine in Oregon (2006 Oregon Young Mother of the Year) posted this on Facebook and I’m sharing it this morning.  

Talk about amazing creativity, talent and vision… to be able to combine Viva La Vida, by Coldplay and Taylor Swift’s Love Story…which, by the way, the Senator just informed me are his two favorite songs right now. Perfect for a gorgeous Sunday morning.

Enjoy!
