Where the hell's Washington? Anyway, I voted for Lincoln. And for you Andrew Jackson fans, have you ever written Waluigi on your voting form? Just wondering :P.

Easily FDR. I may have not lived at the period, but for a president to get THAT many consecutive terms? Really now? Even though you can only get two terms nowadays, I don't think the other president would have gotten re-elected that many times if they had the chance. He had to be doing something right

From that list I've got to go with Jefferson. All the others are like the Britney Spears and Victoria Beckham presidents. Not really that great, but everyone agrees that they are because everyone else tells them that they are.

Lincoln trampled the federal law for his own follower's gain. America was still a slave nation long after he died.

Lincoln. He had to deal with by far the most severe crisis our country has ever dealt with. And he freed the slaves.

Reagan left office months prior to my birth, so for my lifetime I have to choose between Bush or Bill.

I won't even go there.

Overall, Lincoln.

That was a man's man. With a man's man's man's hat.

You mean the slaves in the confederacy. The emancipation proclamation didn't free the slaves that were in the Union.

He's probably my favorite conservative presidents. Best ever though...probably Washington just for the fact he didn't make himself a tyrant. Which seems to happen in 90% of revolutions.

1. Lincoln (Without him there is no United States as we know it) 2. FDR (Provided hope and guidance to a country in desperate need of a fatherly president) 3. George Washington (Without him there is no United States, period) 4. Reagan (Rallied American spirit following the turbulent 1970's, forced the USSR into overextending itself) 5. JFK (Great man, great vision, cool under pressure)

In some ways, he's correct. By dumping far more money into military research, he prompted the Soviets to do the same, which was, quite simply something they could not sustain. Many of the other primary reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union stem, in some way, from this.

The Japanese American internment and relocation camps. Couldn't quite think of the name.

The lack of Washington is disturbing. Anyway, Washington is the best, followed by Lincoln, Jefferson, T. Roosevelt, and Reagan.

How can you put Johnson over Reagan?!

Great Society FTW!!!

Seriously, though. What do we have now that's any good that Reagan gave us? An extreme amount of debt perhaps.

LBJ gave us Medicare, Medicaid, infrastucture that has held up to today, and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and the housing rights Act of 1968. THe only pockmark on his resume is the Vietnam War.
