Question: Who do you think was the greatest President we ever had!?
My top 5 would be as follows:
Abraham Lincoln, (freed the slaves and saved the Union)
Franklin D!. Roosevelt, (led us through the Depression and WWII)!.
Thomas Jefferson, (doubled the size of our country thru La!. Purchase)!.
George Washington, (father of our country), and
Theodore Roosevelt!. (had the farsightedness to save our natural resources)!.
What are yours!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Good list, and many historians would agree with you!. In almost all polls, Lincoln ends up as number one, and FDR and Washington compete for numbers two and three!.

John Dean argues rather convincingly that the task of ranking presidents is a waste of time!. (second link)

George W Bush is near the bottom of everyone's list, although that honor goes to Harding!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

John F Kennedy the man spoke truth to his country and tried to create real change and was shot down because of it!. But I have the oddest feeling he cheated on his wife, so maybe a bad husband but a damn great president!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lincoln

Roosevelt
