Question

Teddy Roosevelt, by far. What do you think?

Answer 1

Ronald Reagan by far!

“Here’s my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.” - Ronald Reagan
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” - Ronald Reagan
“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant: It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” - Ronald Reagan
“Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong.” - Ronald Reagan
“I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandment’s would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.” - Ronald Reagan
“The taxpayer: That’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.” - Ronald Reagan
“Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.” - Ronald Reagan
“If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” - Ronald Reagan
“The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.” - Ronald Reagan
“I’ve laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it’s in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.” - Ronald Reagan

Answer 2

Teddy Rosevelt was by far my favorite. Thomas Jefferson would come in second (even if he did own slaves whilst being an oponent of slavery). Lincoln loses points for suspending habeas corpus, FDR sent innocent American citizens to internment camps, and Reagan wouldn't shake hands with AIDS victims. But Teddy was an individual, he didn't care who liked him and who didn't, he wasn't afraid to do what was right no matter what anyone thought, and dammit, he was an American through and through. Great qualities for anyone to have.

Answer 3

I would have to say FDR, the "New Deal" and his stewardship through World War II are by far the greatest accomplishments in matters foreign and domestic achieved by any president. Just for contrast I would say our worst president is the sitting president. G W is by far the worst, great contrast if you look at the records of the two.

Answer 4

Lincoln, both Roosevelts

Answer 5

F.D Roosevelt he gave us Social Security and years of a great President, by far the greatest of all.

Answer 6

Historic - Thomas Jefferson. Aside from drafting the Declaration of Independence, as President he enacted the Embargo Act (forbidding exports, tried to get France/Britain to respect US), he eliminated the whiskey tax, orchestrated the Louisiana Purchase & started Lewis & Clark on their way. His actions also led to Marbury v. Madison.

Modern day - Reagan, no doubt.

Lincoln is overrated - It is commonly thought that Lincoln fought to end the civil war and abolish slavery. Lincoln actually suspended civil liberties during that war and instead of averting war, he was more interested in asserting federal government power over the States.

Answer 7

Ronald Reagan, Thomas Jefferson and Harry Truman, in that order.

Answer 8

Ronald Reagan...

Answer 9

It would have to be either Washington or Lincoln.

Washington set so many precedents but Linclon preserved the Union. No way anybody else comes close yet, not JFK, not FDR, not Ronald Regan

Answer 10

Eisenhower
