    My favourite story about Calvin Coolidge is a woman going up to him at a party saying she bets she can make him say at least three words this party. He responds with "you lose" and proceeds to be silent for the remainder of the entire event

      From Wikipedia:
      As president, Coolidge's reputation as a quiet man continued. "The words of a President have an enormous weight," he would later write, "and ought not to be used indiscriminately." Coolidge was aware of his stiff reputation; indeed, he cultivated it. "I think the American people want a solemn ass as a President," he once told Ethel Barrymore, "and I think I will go along with them." Some historians suggest that Coolidge's image was created deliberately as a campaign tactic, while others believe his withdrawn and quiet behavior to be natural, deepening after the death of his son in 1924. Dorothy Parker, upon learning that Coolidge had died, reportedly remarked, "How can they tell?"

      And yet after President Harding's death, a woman named Nan Britton put out a book detailing how she'd sneak into the White House through back passageways to canoodle with President Harding and alleged that her daughter was President Harding's bio child. DNA comparing the descendants of President Harding's brother with Nan Britton's grandchildren have in recent years proven that to have been the case. Moreover over 200 letters from President Harding detailing an extramarital bond with yet another woman would come to light. Yes, Mrs. Harding may have been tough when pushing him to strive for greatness but their marriage was far from idyllic.

If anyone's to blame its the Europeans.
