Answer: Sharp Knife

Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States, wasn't exactly known for being a nice guy. In fact, he promoted slavery and was a slaveowner himself.

Jackson earned the nickname of "Sharp Knife" from the Cherokee, since he was responsible for the death of many Cherokee and Creek people.

Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was the 26th President of the United States, since he took over after President William McKinley was assassinated.

Answer: The Sphinx

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States. Roosevelt helped the United States recover from a tremendous economic crisis (the Great Depression) with the New Deal program. He also led the U.S. through World War II until his death in April of 1945, because of a stroke. Roosevelt had suffered from polio long before his death.

In December 1939, there was a great deal of speculation on whether Roosevelt would run again for President, after two consecutive wins. Since the President kept it as a secret until the very last minute, he earned the nickname of "The Sphinx", alluding to the Sphinx of Giza in Egypt, which is said to hold many secrets. There was even a Sphinx statue in the 1939 White House correspondents dinner!

Answer: Argentina

Nestor Kirchner was the 51st President of Argentina. During his term, poverty and unemployment rates dramatically decreased, and diplomatic relations with countries like Brazil and Venezuela improved. His wife, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, was elected President of Argentina after Nestor's term ended.

Although the origin of the nickname "The Penguin" is not certain, the most accepted version is that it comes from the fact that Kirchner was born in the city of Rio Gallegos, and a reserve of Magellanic penguins can be found nearby.
