Well? Here's mine:
1. Teddy Roosevelt (progressive and badass, an unbeatable combo)
2. FDR (13 f[inks]ing years of New Dealing and war-winning)
3. Lincoln (Need I explain?)
4. Wilson (FDR Lite)
5. Kennedy (Civil rights, saved the world)
LBJ would be #4 but for the 'Nam.
You say Wilson is #4 like warmongering is a good thing. Like creating the Fed and income taxes is a good thing. Like the Harrison Narcotics Act was a good thing. Like the Treaty of Versailles was a good thing. Like segregation was a good thing.
Regarding segregation, wouldn't that rule out a whole lot of them? Lincoln himself was a racist by today's standards.
I believe that income taxes and the Fed are good things, and that our entry into WWI was justified. What I've read of the Harrison Act doesn't indicate it being actively bad.
