My opinion? George Washington, hands down. Followed by (in no particular order): John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Abe Lincoln, Grover Cleveland.

Clinton

one day...when humans suffer reproduction problems...we'll all look to President Bill Clinton as our guide...

I also think Washington was our best president also.

Um...You can't get pregnant doing what he did. :wink:


My favourite President? What about that dude that died in like thirty days? Sounds good enough to me. 8)

Lincoln.

Washington.
Jefferson...
Lincoln.
Kennedy.

I wouldnt quite compare Kennedy with the rest, but he's probably the best one weve had in the last hundred years.

Ronald W. Reagan. GO W.

I dont get what Kennedy did, the only reason people say he was because he was killed so tragically.

Lincoln :)

So was William McKinley
And Roosevelt (K's Vice-Prez) was nearly assasinated too
and so was Lincoln
and....ahh whatever

You can't beat Taft!

His name reminds me of Taffy!

Mmmm, Taffy... 8)

That was William Henry Harrison.

I dont get what Kennedy did, the only reason people say he was because he was killed so tragically.

How about..."Prevented World War III", or "Diverted Nuclear holocast".

How about..."Prevented World War III", or "Diverted Nuclear holocast".How about... "Almost caused World War III", or "Got involved up to his neck in things he didn't understand", or "died an addled drug addict"

My favorite is FDR.
Here's why:
Relieved the Great Depression
Got us through all but 6 months of WWII
Died in office(I think it's sad)
Was so well like He was elected FOUR times(of course it was outlawed after he did, but whatever)
and I just like him a lot

Personally i have to say that our current Pres is one of the best we have had. I think he has done an outstanding job this past 4 years, and if i could vote this year, i would vote for him(i turn 18 in Dec a month after the friggin election)

No question about it. FDR

TR. (The better of the Roosevelts).

TR the american lion, I liked how he unbanned hunting and helped revive the deer population.

I'd put Lincoln first for steering the country through such a historic period of our country.

Washington would come next for setting the precedent of giving up power after holding a term in office. He could have easily kept the office and sent our country whirling in a different direction.

FDR

Eisenhower....nothing special about the presidency but the era he presided over was one of the greatest of our history.

Garfield...for being the only president to have a cartoon cat named after him.

HEAR HEAR!

I'd go with Washington, if only for the reason that he is the only truly reluctant man elected president, and with the exception of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, he did more to shape the politics of early America than anyone. The only real blemsihes I can think of during his tenure was his adamant enforcement of the excise tax (more or less caused the Whiskey Rebellion) and the Jay Treaty of 1794.

Bah, you're lucky that we didn't take Roanoke when we split off from you all. The initial map of West Virginia had about 15 counties that ended up in Virginia when we became a state (June 20, 1863).

/Is from West by God Virginia!
