Which former U.S. president continued a 90-minute campaign speech after being shot?

Question

Is this True, or a Lie....Did a President still give a Speech after he was Shot?

Answer 1

Theodore Roosevelt. 26th president.

Believe he was president in the early 20th century for 2 consecutive terms if my memory serves me correctly.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt

"While campaigning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on October 14, 1912, a saloonkeeper named John Schrank failed in an assassination attempt on Roosevelt. Schrank did shoot the former President, but the bullet lodged in Roosevelt's chest only after hitting both his steel eyeglass case and a copy of his speech he was carrying in his jacket. Roosevelt declined suggestions that he go to the hospital, and delivered his scheduled speech. He spoke vigorously for ninety minutes. His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, "I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." Afterwards, doctors determined that he was not seriously wounded and that it would be more dangerous to attempt to remove the bullet than to leave it in his chest. Roosevelt carried it with him until he died"

Answer 2

Teddy Roosevelt in 1912.
