President Taft couldn’t fit in the White House bathtub. That’s just one of the presidential facts that 7-year-old first-grader Jacob Jensen of Rochester relates in a cute video and story on the Rochester Post-Bulletin website.
“Bill Clinton has poofy hair,” Jacob says, “but he didn’t have the most hair, right? That was Andrew Jackson.”
Even though Jacob is working to overcome a speech disorder, he’s a fountain of First Family facts: he can recite the presidents’ names in order, rattle off birth dates, and casually produce tidbits such as Barack Obama’s height (6-feet, 1-1/2 inches), the number of children John Tyler had (15) and that Taft weighed 332 pounds.
