So say Rowboat Veterans for Truth. (http://www.rowboatvets.com/intro.htm) Go read their damning testimony!
Here's an excerpt.
He’s resting his entire campaign on his so-called heroics in the Revolutionary War, and his famous Delaware River crossing.

His campaign wagons about a handful of Revolutionary veterans throughout the 13 States, and trots them out at public appearances to sing his praises. George Washington wants us to believe that these men represent all those he calls his "rowboat band of brothers."

But if bother you ask his boat mates, they’ll tell you. The truth is, the man is unfit for command, and as president he would quite literally leave our young nation up the creek, without a paddle.

Speaking of “no paddles”, look closely at this famous picture of a paddle-free G.W. relaxing while his comrades do all the rowing.

It's time, I say it's time to challenge this faker, this charlatan, this so-called Father of his Country. The liberal media needs to be taken down. Their lies must be exposed to the Godly light of Truth.

Or something. :D

First, 18th century sensiblities and ours are completely diffrent.

Second, the real heroism of Washington was that he prevented a military coup durring the revolutionary war.

Washington was likely more like Kerry than he is like Bush. Remember Washington surpressed a revolt of his own veterans when he was president.

Myth: George Washington freely admitted to cutting down his father’s cherry tree.

FACT: He also freely admitted shooting the family dog, Arthur.
