President's Day: Who is the best? Who is your favorite?

Post Reply New Topic

On this President's day, I'd like to know a couple things:
1. Who do you think was America's best President?
2. Who's your favorite President?

I'll go first:
1. Lincoln was definitely our best President, having saved the Union, and put an end to the country's original sin, slavery.
2. My favorite definitely was Barack Obama. Besides proving that anyone occupy the White House despite color, he gave the country hope, and made it possible for millions of Americans to have health care who had previously denied it.

Yes indeed , Obama,best. .... FDR wasn't bad ...guess You did not want to do the Worst ? almost self explanitory .

I'm always hoping Michelle Obama will decide to run one day.

1. Franklin Roosevelt - He did what capitalists didn't want to do during the great depression.

2. Ted Roosevelt - The guy was a badass.

Lincoln and the two Roosevelts.

Eisenhower was good with domestic policy, but I find him a bit hypocritical when it came to foreign policy. Some of the leaders we formed alliances with were the type of people Ike personally fought against in WW2.

Fidel Castro.
He nearly made 32 years as president.

Clearly a role model for someone

fave- Clinton was entertaining and clever and tried his best to expand healthcare to the working class, and by executive decision was able to expand veterans health care to more vets.
best - Obama was finally able to expand health care to 10s of millions of more citizens.

Not sure the difference between "best" and "favorite."

Anyhow, IMO the 3 best are: Lincoln, FDR, and Obama, for reasons others here have already stated.

After getting into The War of Greedy Witches manga where famous women from history are ressurected, restored to their prime, and made to battle each other in a big arena I think I would love nothing more than to see a "War of Greedy Presidents" where all 45 men who served in the White House are forced to fight to the death in one-on-one matches in an epic battle before a cheering crowd.

A seated Uncle Sam could be the host of the arena with Lady Columbia and Lady Liberty both by his sides.

Oh and I would love to see Abraham Lincoln battle Donald Trump with a samurai sword. And win.

Favorites:

Lincoln

Obama

Both FDR and Teddy Roosevelt

Clinton

Least Favorite: Trump

Redeemed Himself (by opposing Trump): George W. Bush

I'm aware this is almost 6 months late:

Right now I'd probably say James Madison.

He gave us the durable constitution focused on negative rights, effectively 'what can government not do', didn't agree with Jefferson on turning and burning the Constitution every 19 years, instead his argument was that if you made the Constitution as minimal and non-intrusive as possible you'd be writing it around only permanent human problems (what we'd call in current parlance 'game theory' - stuff that's stable, unsolvable, not going away) rather than the political fad of the generation - which could be monarchism one generation, capitalism the next, socialism the next. We probably wouldn't have been a country much past the 1830's if he hadn't won out on that.
