If you could pick one US President from the past to take over the running of the country tomorrow, who would you pick ?
FDR, JFK or perhaps Abe Lincoln maybe.

The politics and government section is the last hide out for refugees from the recent republican defeat.
It reminds me of travelling down river in the movie "Deliverance" I can hear the banjos plucking.
But I would have to say Bill Clinton. He is heads and tails above the poor leadership we are experiencing now!

I was expecting to see a lot of people saying "Clinton," but I guess not....
I wouldn't mind Reagan. Or Lincoln, or perhaps FDR.

Its hard to tell if these presidents you suggest would do much better. Dealing with Middle East politics is no cake walk.
I'll tell you this, though, if Nixon were in charge he would have ordered the bombing of five or six countries by now. After the most devastating terrorist attack in US history, Bush attacked TWO, just TWO, and Libya fell in line, everybody forgets that.
Things are not all bad. It could be a LOT worse.

Lincoln is the obvious answer, read Sandburg's books
