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.

I think the best president was George Washington. My favorite president is Ronald Reagan.

Unfortunately, the current guy is the absolute worst.

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.
