Washington I guess?  He probably had the hardest job.  No precedent.  War.  Uncertainty.  Trailblazing.   

My favorite president is Teddy Roosevelt.  Strong leader.  Independent.  And, most importantly, a stud athlete.  Any president who boxes while they are the prez is okay in my book.   :)

EIsenhower for the warnings about the evils of the mil ind. cmplx.

JFK for attempting to save the world from corruption.

Everyone since them has been a tool, often blackmailed and never bold enough to stand up against bigger badder things.

Roosevelt, Nixon and Clinton.

Roosevelt, maybe the only truly great president ever?

Nixon and Clinton both displayed shortcomings, Nixon even a criminal, Clinton's handling of the Palestine situation being unexcusable.

Nixon had often brilliant political skills, a true utilitarian, who would use a rational reasoning, and thus being accused of being stone-hearted, when making decisions.

Clinton, a selfmade man, truly The American Dream, et al, and also being able to mend a crashed economy, bettering the foreign relations with most countries. Only major fcuk up being the Palestine situation and the Oslo treaty, but then again, the Israelis aren't complaining... :-\

Overall though, Roosevelt, the man behind New Deal, which had a tremendous impact on US economy.

FDR. leader the greatest generation.Before the candyass hippies & passafists had a voice.

JFK.Man was going to blow the whistle on all the corruption.Before they offed him.Wasn't sweatin' cuba either.

Regan.The only ones who were pissed.Were the lazy asses who didn't want to get off their dead asses and work.Just wanted the free ride.You know who you are.

Not familiar with his term are you?  Why do you think he was called Martin Van Ruin?

Best Presidents:
Madison
Truman (a bit sketchy on certian issues)
Teddy Roosevelt

Worst:
Grant
Buchanen
Lincoln (yes he was terrible)
George W. Bush
