Highest-Paid Actresses 2011

Grover Cleveland was the only president to ever have a wedding in the white house. He married Frances Folsom a woman about 30 years younger than he was. 

Grover was the only President to make a comeback and returned as our 24th President. 

Soon after his term began, the Panic of 1893 struck the stock market. Silver was blamed, and it led to it's ultimate downfall in U.S. currency. 

He also tried to reduce tariffs, and replace the lost revenue with an added income tax on the wealthy. I only mention that because conservatives remember him fondly. His plan didn't go over smoothly since he blamed attempts for reform was caused by corporate control of Congress members. 

Many working men hated his polices, and a group known as Coxey's army marched to D.C. to protest. The ones that remained marching were arrested for walking on the grass of the U.S. capitol. They were never a threat to the government, and that was a low blow to freedom of speech. 

By far the worse mess that Cleveland was directly responsible for was the Pullman Strike incident. Workers had gone on strike due to long hours and little pay, and it effected the railroads. It prevented the post office from delivering mail, so Cleveland sent federal troops to handle the crowd. At the end of the violence 13 workers were dead, and 57 were wounded. 

Cleveland played a early part in the eventual take over of Hawaii. People had overthrown the corrupt Queen Liliuokalani, and the new government wanted to be annexed by the United States. Cleveland supported the Queen, but somewhat kept out of the affair. 

I'll give Grover some credit for handling the fight over what is now British Guiana between Great Britain, and Venezuela. His policy and diplomacy led to good relations not only with our neighbors south but to England as well. 

Was his second term any good? Well I can respect some of it, but I still think he was a lousy president. Especially towards labor and worker's rights. 

Cleveland was the only president to serve two separate terms. So we'll just cover the first one for now. 

Cleveland was known to stay away from partisan policies when it came to federal employees. He was a Democrat who promised not to fire any hardworking Republican. He awarded jobs based on merit rather than friends or allies. 

One thing I don't like about Cleveland was his mass vetoes of bills. He vetoed pensions for veterans and the disabled. He used vetoes more than most Presidents up to that time did. 

Another issue was that of Free Silver vs the Gold Standard. Cleveland stood by the Gold Standard while many westerners and southerners needed silver to help protect their poor citizens. At the time I'd probably would stick by Free Silver. 

Another issue was tariffs, and Cleveland wanted less tariffs since that was equal to less taxes back in his time. Tariffs were often used to protect Americans from importing too much. The debate carried over to the next election. 

He didn't really stand up for the civil rights for anybody. The actions he took upon African-Americans, Chinese-immigrants, and Native Americans were questionable at best.
