Quote by Will Rogers

Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven't had one since Taft. Look at the United States, they have not had one since Lincoln.

Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven't had one

Summary

This quote is a sarcastic remark highlighting the fact that Ohio and the United States have not produced a president from their respective regions since Taft (in the case of Ohio) and Lincoln (in the case of the US). It suggests that Ohioans believe they are "due" a president, likely based on the historical significance and influence of their state in past presidential elections. Similarly, it points out the contrast of the larger United States not having produced a president from their region since Lincoln, underscoring the rarity of such occurrences. Overall, it emphasizes the long period of time since a president has emerged from either location.
