Honorable mention to FDR. His leadership and strength during WWII and in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor certainly put him as one of the greatest presidents in our history. However, his creation of the welfare system, while well-intentioned, has hurt the country in my opinion, and created a generation of people who have no desire to work or accomplish anything. So he gets points deducted for that, which is why he's not in my list of favorite Presidents.

My fave pres is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

She got the economy going again and got the country back from Bush's bankruptcy, saved Social security, and got medicals benefit and prescription drugs available to all who need them, besides bringing honour, truth, trust, and integrity to the White House.

She didn't start any wars, initiated affordable housing, instituted a levee system on the Gulf Coast after the pattern of the Thames Barricade, and funded education at an unprecedented level and in her final week in office she granted a full pardon to George W Bush.

What a woman! America's image rose like a phoenix in the international world and she forged a lasting peace between Israel, Palestine and the Arab world through her insightful foreign policy strategies.

I woluld tell you more, but you would accuse me of gushing!
