Anyway . . .
Overrated for the purposes of this thread:
-Lincoln
-Washington
-JFK (holy christ I can't even believe he was mentioned)
-even Woody Wilson
Roosevelts, however, are safe choices - I'll go with them

The current issue of Smithsonian Magazine has the obligatory "what were you doing when you heard that JFK was killed?" article. I am amazed how many people who I would consider very left of center who had nothing wonderful to say about JFK.
I'll probably get flamed for this, but I sometimes wonder if his presidency would have been any big deal if it hadn't ended so tragically. After all, he was in Dallas because he thought he would lose Texas in the next election.
