Lol...if we're facing a Communist threat, it's Reagan every time. If we're facing a Nazi threat, FDR looks better, etc.

Hard to know what FDR would've thought about the modern world and Islam and terrorism.

This is kind of a fundamental question to see whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, and in fact I think is used on a political test that I remember taking to help determine your ideology.

That being said, clearly FDR! Wink

In a time of stability, I would vote Reagan. In a war time, I would vote for Roosevelt. I have major objections to Roosevelt, but his wartime effectiveness and speeches to Congress were amazing. Otherwise, I'd like a determined and cheery President. I won't vote on this poll just yet.

Easy choice - my favorite twentieth century president against my least favorite.  Reagan for me.

FDR most definitely. Abraham Lincoln aside FDR was the greatest US president ever.

There you peple go again. I won't even get into FDR, but I fail to see how Lincoln, a man who's biggest life achievement was to traple the constitution, is so admired by everybody.

Ronald Reagan!

By the way, does anyone know of any place I could get audio of FDR's speeches? I don't think I've ever heard his voice.
