Well, even though he had mistresses, (that's besides the point) but the greatest President was FDR. He got us out of the Great Depression and got the country back to work at the time of war (WWII). He was popular enough to serve 3 full terms, and died in his 4th term. He was the reason why women joined the work force.

No way. She is may be a foul vice chairman and an excellent worse president. First, she claims to have journey yet quite she has little. She ruled a city of all of 8 thousand human beings. this is the quantity of scholars in a severe college. So quite, a central is as in a position as her. 2nd, she has undesirable stances. She needs creationism in faculties. final, she fights against our surroundings. She does not believe in worldwide warming even however anybody has admitted its existence. She additionally overturned a regulation in Alaska. She made it criminal to fly inner maximum planes and shoot on the wolves. this is ridiculous. She is a foul candidate and that's frightening to think of that if something happens to Mccain she would be in a position to be president.

Abraham Lincoln. He successfully guided this country through its toughest time, and brought it all back together.
There are many other greats, of course. Washington was an amazing man, but most of his greatest came before he was actually president. But he did refuse to be annointed king, and he did step down after two terms, creating that precedence.

-Andrew Jackson...well...aside from his mass killings of native americans, he abolished the federal reserve and was the first president to balance the budget...
-FDR...too many reasons why he is the greatest!
-JFK...got rid of the federal reserve for a short period, and helped boost american morale to the heights of only FDR in his golden years...

fdr....he put together a plethora of social programs which are still intact to this day (who knows for how long with this pres. though) and he helped keep the country together during the most important world conflict of all time......washington was a decent, though very reluctant leader, lincoln was good too.

Calvin Coolidge.
Partially, because he had a hands off approach that I agree with, but also, because his reelection campaign slogan in 1924 was
"Keep Cool with Coolidge."
I'm completely serious. That is what it was. Does that not rock?
