Past Presidents as in, those that are no longer living.
Sure times have changed significantly since they were President but which do you think could adapt or take charge, and make this country respectable again?

Here are the 4 that I think could deal with today's issues.
1. George Washington-His diplomacy, his experience as a general and his basic understanding of people, He also has experience forming a new government
2. Ulysses S. Grant-His experience as a tactical genius and his single minded purpose would lend itself to this situation
3. Woodrow Wilson-His understanding of the world and his huge imput into NATO would make him uniquely qualified to handle a global issue.
4. Dwight D. Eisenhower- Would combine elements of all 3 of the previous presidents and would be the very best person to handle today's situation.

Thomas Jefferson.
In response to a declaration of war on the United States of America by the Barbary Coast Muslim caliphates, Thomas Jefferson sent the USS Constitution to the Mediterranean in 1803. The U.S. Navy was a force to be reckoned with.
In 1805, the USS Constitution supported the landing of Marines “on the shores of Tripoli” in an action that was subsequently immortalized in the Marine Corps Hymn. The Americans and their allies destroyed the harbor citadel at Derna that served as the headquarters for the pirates.
The first blue-water ocean-going war machine of the new United States Navy turned the Tripoli harbor from state-of-the-art fortifications (state-of-the-art for 18th century Muslims, that is) back to 7th century piles of rubble. The United States Navy literally freed the Mediterranean and the world from domination by militant Islam for nearly 200 years until September 11th, 2001, when conservative, Wahhabi-type, radical Islam killed nearly 3,000 Americans.

Thomas Jefferson - Because he was a great leader and he could make all of Washington understand the importance and value of the Constitution!
He could make George Bush see that it isn't "just a Goddamn piece of paper"!

FDR, because he had to deal with WW II, and the depression, and did so very successfully.
