What i think about George Washington
George Washington was a great person. He had a great attitude and was posative about most things. I think that he was smart not being the king but being the president. If i was in his feet i would not want to be king because it would put to much pressure on me. If you are president then you only have to be president over the united states not the whole world. He was a great president. I think that him and Martha should of had kids together.
