The Long and the Short of It

It has long been a matter of dispute among presidential historians as to who had the biggest belly button. The natural choice would of course have been William Howard Taft who because of his immense girth would have the largest of all presidential stomachs and thus the biggest belly button. It was in fact immense and his children would often climb inside it like a kangaroo baby when he was in the bath. The future senator Robert Taft often spoke of those days when he would take a bath with his father and look out the rest of the world. He felt safe and protected in way that he could never feel for the rest of his life. In fact many historians feel that feeling of anxiety led to Senator Taft embracing the America First movement and isolationism which led to America ignoring the rise of the Nazi’s in Europe. In fact some go so far as to say that the rise of Hitler was really due to President William Howard Taft’s belly button.
