Friends....

Lets think about who the BEST President was, and post that. I guess a lot of us were putting who we thought were the BEST in the other thread... Who answers first?

John Henson. If it weren't for him, the USA as we know it would not exist.

Historians usually say Washington, Lincoln or FDR.

I don't really have the knowledge to say who is technically "the best," but I would agree with those three are all up there, though I would rank Washington and Roosevelt above Lincoln.

I hear you... but think of this... Lincoln had to take a country that was self destructing, I mean literally hated each other, and fuse it back together. Pretty TOUGH job, if not the best...



..just a side note...

The begining of the Republic and the holding of so to speak the Republic together. Civil War Era!

Lincoln Tried, but the Civil War. Lincoln assisinated, Andrew Johnson became President. Who, From Tenn.. 17 th. Related to. At the time kept The Republic together. Kept lincoln from being empeached.

FDR, well we got into the WWII did we not. Learn History!

Harry Truman, figure head Vice Pres. under FDR who kept all secret from him! The Bomb. Used it when he figured it would save Lives. One of the Greatest. Knew him!


Reagan, a Grade B actor, who became Pres. and played a role!

Billie C. Times were damn good, Bill like SEX. OOPS! So Damn what!

Ike, a WWII jerk. Did stsart the International Hgw. system, a war road, first link I-70, Ks.

G W. Stepped pon his dingus! But, he was showing Daddy that he was as good. School is still out on this! God Damn, I hate losing Our People. Is He right, well, I will only say yes!

All I can say is bury the AssWholes. But, Is it a losing situation. A Nam In the dessert. I can only pray that is not!

I say who I said in the other thread - Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Harry Truman. The reasons for these choices are outlined in the other thread.
