Can You Identify this Former President?

D,

I went with Ray Zee.

I think Van Buren is less known for his largely forgettable presidency and better known for bearing the name of the street in Phoenix where you can find all the hookers. Hell, I knew what Van Buren Street was all about when I was like five years old.

Lincoln, inventor of the log.

EDIT: Didn't see that the guessing was over for the first one.

Second one, without looking at what other people have guessed, is Martin Van Buren, I believe. He invented the street gang.

I guarantee it's Abe Lincoln. Guaranteed.

I grew up in Lincoln, IL. Every year there is a log splitting festival that was fun to go to.

Lincoln, IL is the only city named for Abe before his presidency if you need a cool piece of Lincoln trivia.

Don't agree with this - but just read a great Lincoln quote (it was referenced in the recent Atlantic article "Why Do Presidents Lie"):

In response to Stephen Douglas' allegations that he was "two-faced", Honest Abe quipped:

"If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?"
