In continuing the idea of the 10 best presidents thread, I've created a thread dealing with the ten bes people to be President.  They didn't have to serve the country well, just be a good person.

Here's mine in no particular order:

John Adams
Harry Truman
Jimmy Carter
Herbert Hoover
Eisenhower
John Quincy Adams
James Buchanan
Abraham Lincoln
George H.W. Bush (kind of surprising, I know)
Martin Van Buren

1. Abraham Lincoln
2. Teddy Roosevelt
3. Calvin Coolidge
4. Franklin Roosevelt
5. Richard Nixon
6. Bill Clinton
7. Gerald Ford
8. Dwight Eisenhower.
9. John Kennedy
10. LBJ

Are you kidding me?  I agree FDR, Clinton, Kennedy, and LBJ were good Presidents, but they were not very good people.  FDR had tons of mistresses, as did Kennedy.  I have a book that says Kennedy is once quoted as saying, "I get a migraine if I don't get a foreign piece fo ass every night."  Also, LBJ has allegations against him for cheating in elections.  Clinton's problems are pretty obvious.
