I'd say they were both great, in a way which I can't really rank. But if they both came back to life and ran I'd support FDR because he shares more of my beliefs.

FDR, hands down. Being the first President =/= the best President.

Definitely FDR. In my opinion, Washington is a bit overrated.

Both are top 3, but FDR is tops overall in my book.

FDR saved America from the Great Depression and defeated the Nazis

Washington owned slaves and had teeth made from walrus ivory

Easy choice

One tried to gain as much power as possible, the other chose to limit and ultimately relinquish power.

The one that didn't round up Americans and put them in internment camps.

We're not comparing apples to apples. We're comparing the (positive vs negative) impact of events during their respective presidencies. There's also no way to know FDR's positions on issues during Washington's day, so what?

FDR supported Japanese interment.

Washington led armies to defeat the British and found this country.

Easy Choice.

I'm sorry, but Japanese interment, although indisputably horrible, was just one of many chapters of FDR's Presidency and cannot be a bacon of overall historical judgement.

I was making fun of someone else's post.

Washington, who, in spite of his reactionary role as figurehead for the coup of 1789, helped lead Americans to victory in their war of independence against the British imperialists.
