Martin Van Buren (1782 - 1862) was the 8th President of the United States. He was born in the village of Kinderhook near New York. He became known as Old Kinderhook. His supporters needed a 'catch phrase' to help his campaign for the Presidency, one of his team devised the phrase - "You will be Ok with OK". Meaning, of course, that your vote will be safe with Old Kinderhook. From there OK passsed into general usage
