Coolidge, who in my opinion represents everything good about America.  He didn't meddle in the daily lives of Americans or in the affairs of foreign nations very often.  He also tried to confront America's oldest problem decades before Brown v. Board of Education or Loving v. Virginia.

My rankings of the options listed:

1. Reagan
2. FDR
3. Coolidge
4. Eisenhower
5. Truman
6. TR
7. Kennedy
8. Clinton
9. LBJ (HP)
10. Wilson (mega HP)

FDR and Coolidge both in top 3?

Yeah, I have a lot of respect for FDR and how he handled the war, I would have voted for him over any other candidate.

So you would have voted for him in 1932, 36, and 40 before the war started?

Seeing as FDR essentially saved capitalism, I'm pretty sure most right-wingers should give him at least some credit.

Easily FDR.

I also have a very high opinion of Truman and JFK.

Of the ones listed?

FDR in terms of raw accomplishments and leaving the country in better shape than before he took office. Ike in terms of policy positions closest to my own (despite some errors). Voted Ike.
