Theodore Roosevelt
"... if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiances here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag,... we have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Teddy Roosevelt -- 1907
Worst andrew Jackson, never was there a man who thought he did such great things for the country, when In fact he made everything much worse.

Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson changed the world, not only by the words that he wrote but by the way in which he lived his life and I think that...the words—particularly in the Declaration of Independence which attested to the natural right of all men to live free—have ruled and shaped our lives to this day. It was interesting to me to hear Mikhail Gorbachev on the podium at Monticello for the birthday celebration say that Jefferson had been one of his heroes as he had been growing up and attending university. Jefferson did indeed not only change his country, but he changed the world.
Jefferson was born on the edge of the wilderness into a beautiful land and I think that the magic of the land in which he was born had a great influence on him. Again, I think it’s important to understand his mother. The fact that she would leave the opulence and the security of her father’s home and move to a tiny cabin on the edge of a wilderness with a man whom she loved tells us a lot about her. And I think she had some influence on Jefferson. But I think the strongest influence on him was unquestionably his father.

Teddy Roosevelt was the best . He didn't take any crap off any body and recognized our great national resources as our biggest strength.
Grant was the worst. Great general but rested on his laurels and never acted in any presidential capacity what so ever except to murder Native Americans and violate treaty agreements ( excuse me if you are one of those who consider those acts presidential).

using fact they seem on the data approximately Regan, no longer this twisted propaganda, that's a humorous tale what the lefties use for tips. Regan had an all democrat homestead & senate to artwork with, yet little ol him is totally in charge for spending? that's no longer the way it works, till you're purely a moron. Lefties do unlike him using fact they purchase into the stupid lies & sophist crap tangled up in lefty writtings approximately him. that's relating to the size of it. Democrats liked Regan whilst he became president, lots of them voted for him. Now the Progs try to revise history.

Best: Lincoln for holding our country together during trying times.
Roosevelt (FDR) for seeing what had to be done and doing it.
Worst: Bill Clinton because he lacked the strength to own up to a mistake when it became public.
George W. Bush because of a general lack of intellect, morals, ethics, and patritotism.

Best - Abe Lincoln because he freed the slaves (in theory)!! Also on my best list is Ronnie (Ray Gun) because he kicked the communists right in the @$$.
The worse - Bubba Clinton for so many reasons there isn't enough room on this website to list. The United States lost respect around the world because of his sexual deeds in the white house.

Ronald Reagan was the absolute best.
He knew how to relate to the common man.
He gave back poor peoples hard earned money to stimulate
the economy and to encourage small business.
The star wars program and the fact that he listened to his wife and admitted it. The man was years ahead of his time.
If he could have run for another term he would have won by a landslide. He loved America
