This vital truth, attributed to Mark Twain, has been the inspiration for a unique collection of rap poems about the US presidents, each illustrated with a creative caricature by the up-and-coming artist Molly Brau. Find out more about the presidents backgrounds, accomplishments, personality quirks, successes, and failures in the whimsical hip-hop style. Jack was Jammin! Truman was Truckin! Taft was Phat!
