who is your favorite president?

Answer 1

Abraham Lincoln, for many reasons.

1. His rise from abject poverty to a profession that kept him well off

2. His battles with depression all his life, and his philosophy of life, which appeared to weave together a general belief in the Almighty combined with the feeling that there was no afterlife

3. His brilliant political moves which launched him from obscurity to the Presidency. The most powerful attribute he had was the power of forgetting slights and forgiving others; this trait gained him powerful and loyal friends and allies

4. His love of country and the Constitution-His cabinet was filled with his rivals, but he kept them there because they were the best men for the job; his own ego suffered terrible blows, but he considered this part of his service for the greater good of the nation.

5. His bravery. He faced enemy fire when Early's troops tried to invade Washington DC.

6. His words, which will be remembered for ages to come.

Answer 3

James Madison. This is easy for me being a lifelong student of American History.

Every American who appreciates their freedoms, and the fact that we live in a Republic governed by Democracy should appreciate James Madison. For one thing, without Madison's prodding and gently bullying him, Jefferson may have taken an extra year or two to write the Declaration of Independence. Secondly, Madison is the father of everything that gave us a democratic form of government: The Constitution of the United States.

Although I am a life long liberal, who never needed lessons on Compassion, I will say that Madison is almost a bit too conservative for my taste, but having said that he saw through the pompous rhetoric of many such as Alexander Hamilton and was not afraid to speak Truth to Power. In effect, because of James Madison, those states that stubbornly refused to give up slavery in order to form a "perfect union" realized that a Union must be formed. Sadly, Madison settled for a "more perfect" union, rather than a perfect union. Personally, I would have told the despicable slave masters from the south to go fly a kite, and if they didn't like being part of a free country where there were no slaves they could just take a flying leap.

Instead it took 200 years to rid this country of almost all remnants of slavery; the roots of which go back to the Portuguese traders who bought and sold anything that was offered, including human beings. So when you hear someone damn the Americans for slavery, remember, it all started with African Cheiftans offering to sell, and selling, their own people to the Portuguese traders who were sailing in their waters.

The Americans didn't invent Slavery. But, sadly, it took them a long time to admit it was a despicable trait.
