In your opinion, what person (living or dead) would be the best leader for present day America and why?

Question

Not necessarily an American. It could be any one from all of history from Joan of Arc to Shaka Zulu (not that I'm suggesting either one). Be creative.

Answer 1

I have to go with JFK because of his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis -- he dealt with a REAL threat with nuclear weapons 80 miles from the US and resolved it without bloodshed or starting WW3...from this experience he would have been able to recognize that the "threat" from Iraq was nothing compared to that, and would never have invaded.

George Washington second choice as he recognized the danger of "foreign entanglements" had humility, intelligence and perseverance

Answer 2

The Honorable Ron Paul, US Rep.
Ron Paul unites opposition to the war and the police state at home across the entire political spectrum and in contrast to the current gaggle of criminals running the White House, represents everything that America truly stands for.
Ron Paul represents a dying breed in Congress, those who actually cast their votes in accordance with the Constitution and not at the discretion of lobbyists or the fear that the elite will tarnish their political careers if they don't continually support the establishment.

Answer 3

George Galloway ..... He's not a Zionist and would never sell out to the Zionists or Israel.

OR

JFK ...... He was just moments away from doing away with the Federal Reserve Scam, I mean System before he was killed by the people who own the Federal Reserve Banks. (His statute, which renders the Fed powerless is still on the books and still applies to this day....... lets see who will have the balls to implement it)

Answer 4

Dead: I'd wish for Thomas Jefferson. I think he'd about have a heart attack over the trampling of the Constitution that has come from this Administration. He'd also straighten out those who just can't seem to get the concept of the separation of church and state.

Living: I'm a Hillary Clinton supporter, all the way.

Answer 5

I would like to see Reagan back again. Aside from him I would choose either Gerald Ford or Ann Coulter

Answer 6

Martin Luther King Jr. because he was intelligent, articulate, and a brilliant and humble leader.

Answer 7

President George W. Bush.
He takes the threat of Islamic terrorism seriously. And due to his policies we have not been attacked on American soil since 9-11. He remains true to the mission he began in 2001. He doesn't put his finger in the wind to make policy. He knows the tremendous influence the liberal biased mass media has on polls. A true leader does not lead according to polls. I admire him for his steadfastness and integrity. He is truly committed to God and stands on a rock solid foundation.

His domestic policies have been good for America. Our economy is booming, bringing us out of a recession of the late 90's. Despite 9-11, when over a trillion dollars were lost, our economy has grown due to his tax cuts.
Unemployment is at an all time low. The stock market has hit record highs in recent months.

These are demonstrable facts. How the mass media along with the democrats can influence so many kool-aid drinkers with their lies and misrepresentations of truth is beyond me. I just thank God President Bush was in office when 9-11 happened and in these present times of danger to our sovereignty. I just hope it will not take another attack on America to get people to wake up to the truth.

Answer 8

Pope John Paul look how embaced the man who shot him and he seemed to have a great ability to mix with people from all walks of life.

Answer 9

Paul Wellstone or Kucinich.

Answer 10

1. Dr. Martin Luther King
2. Abraham Lincoln
3. Thomas Jefferson

If I'm allowed to pick someone who wouldn't be albe to run (someone who wasn't born in America) I'd go with Jesus of Nazareth.
