Teddy Roosevelt, the original Badass!
Theodore Roosevelt gave a speech immediately after a failed assasination attempt by John Flammang Schrank, who shot the former President point blank with a .32 caliber revolver. The speech was over 90 minutes long and the bullet was still inside him as he delivered it. An excerpt from his speech, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."
