Ronald Reagan, during his administration the Berlin Wall came down signaling an end to the 46+ year cold war and brought Communism to it's knees. Also no other president has ever nor will probably ever again win 49 states in an election.

Franklin D. Roosevelt. He came into office when all that America stood for was about to fail because our economy was suffering so badly. All the normal prescriptions didn't work. So, he had to start with radical innovation and keep on plugging away. Everyone of his hare-brained schemes has left a lasting legacy. Where would our national and state parks without the CCC? Who'd ever heard of such a concept before him? What about the WPA, a particularly outrageous program. We wouldn't have much oral history without this work. But, who ever heard of federal support for artists? When one of his programs faltered, he always had another. This is particularly remarkable when you realize that he came from a privileged background, and prior to his polio, had never known poor Americans, never traveled in the countryside, never realized the conditions under which many poor southerners labored. Granted, he left a lot undone, never even condemning the lynching that was prevalent in the south during his administration. But, he never stopped pushing the country where he thought it needed to go in this time of national crisis.

My favorite president was Abraham Lincoln because I guess the time of the Civil War and the Civil War fascinates me so much.

Richard Nixon
The man had so much potential, had an extremely complex personality, his relationships with Eisenhower, Kennedy, Ford, Bush, Regan, and Clinton was very powerful. He's the perfect example of a "What If" president.

Thomas Jefferson- because he promoted separation of church and state, was an Enlightenment figure, Constitution, and was not only a politician but an architect, a musician, a librarian, a scholar, and an innovator.
