Today is not "Presidents' Day [1]" accouding to Federal law 5 U.S.C 6103.  It has nothing to do with MLK Day. Lincoln's birthday and was never a Federal holiday.

2008 Federal Holidays [2]
"Federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) establishes the following public holidays for Federal employees:
Tuesday, January 1 New Year's Day
Monday, January 21 Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Monday, February 18* Washington's Birthday
Monday, May 26 Memorial Day
Friday, July 4 Independence Day
Monday, September 1 Labor Day
Monday, October 13 Columbus Day
Tuesday, November 11 Veterans Day
Thursday, November 27 Thanksgiving Day
Thursday, December 25 Christmas Day

* This holiday is designated as "Washington's Birthday" in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees.

I think that there is far less Washington writings and speeches than there are of Lincoln and Jefferson.

Washington only did things.
