So this wasn't really found at an antique store...yet. I saw and bought this from the John F. Kennedy Library in Dorchester. It is a charming fridge magnet that is entitled "The Presidents of the United States". The title says it all. These are THE presidents of the United States: every single one of them! Well, except they aren't all here. Are the newest ones missing? Well, no. There is Barack Obama right there and he is our current president. Well, it definitely looks like some are missing. Is it missing the Republicans? Nope, there is Lincoln! Well, maybe it just has the major ones. That must be why they included the prestigious Millard Fillmore, best known for....supporting the Compromise of 1850 and hence the expansion of slavery....or his opposition to Lincoln....or support for Andrew Johnson....ok he is one of the worst presidents ever. So what do these random 17 presidents have in common? Beats me! I tried asking the cashier who said she's had many similar conversations, and she said she had no idea. The good news is that unlike most antique store finds, this one is still made and sold and you can buy your very old brand new magnet of "Random Presidents That Have Nothing In Common".
