        It wasn't very many days between being put on the ticket as the vice presidential nominee and being sworn in as president, was it @PresHarryTruman? Quite the rise to power for a haberdasher from Kansas City.

        The last president without a college education. But he was able to see through Stalin the way FDR was not.

        The @PresHarryTruman did attend some classes at the Kansas City School of Law ( now part of UMKC), but never did earn a college degree. Quite different from his predecessors and successors who graduated from Stanford, Harvard, and West Point.

        And would later be stunned by the poor condition of the White House as well.

        Asked to describe FDR's character and genius Truman said: "He lies." Quite a guy!
