I knew the $50K. I was screaming "Grover Cleveland" at the TV.

FTR, they could also have used Ulysses S. Grant for this one. His first name was Hiram-but he decided when he went to West Point that he'd get teased with the initials HUG on his luggage. :)

How 'bout Thomas Woodrow Wilson?

Wow that sounded snobby. I'm not doing that again. But I'll leave this one up so people get the false illusion that I'm not a total idiot.

I knew it wasn't Garfield (James Abram Garfield) or Reagan (Ronald Wilson Reagan). So it's time to Double Dip, using B and C as my answers.
