Federalist (my least favorite party)
George Washington (barely counts, but a great President)
Democratic-Republican
Thomas Jefferson-A fantastic ideology. I really believe conservatives would call him a socialist today.
Whig (Another party I hate)
John Tyler-Basically a Democratic-Republican
Democrats (Of course, my favorite party)
John F. Kennedy-Overrated, but still my personal favorite for many reasons. Truman, FDR, Jackson, and Polk are all up there as well (in that order)
Republican
Ronald Reagan-I like him a lot as a leader, though not ideologically. TR is more ideologically close and is a close second, with Eisenhower after that.

What did he do poorly? I didn't say he was the best President, I said I liked him. The Persian Gulf war was a success because he got the whole world on his side. He was smart enough to know that killing Sadaam would do more harm than good. Basically, he didn't make the mistakes his son did.


I'm not going to let the opinions of a small rodent and a french person bother me. Wink

I didn't say he was the best at all. But I personally like how he handled things.


Edit: Who had better foreign policy in the 20th century? Reagan maybe, Roosevelt probably. I can't think of any others. I liked that he tried to combat the deficits of Reagan as well, although taxes were raised.

Of course, I wasn't even alive through most of his presidency, so I wouldn't know.

I would also like to point out that Antonio said one of his favorite Presidents was Johnson. The man who made no effort to end a pointless war and who expanded the welfare state which destroyed poor families.

Conservatives call "socialist" anyone who isn't as extremist as them... Cheesy

Partially my bad: I missed the "H" in your list and thought you were extolling the foreign policy <shudder> of W.

BTW: Badgers are part of the mustiled family, not rodents. We're actually closer related to skunks, so there.

(Heh, sure showed him, huh?) ;-)

Might I say that last one is an excellent choice. Coolidge receives far too little credit primarily cause nothing major occurred under his Presidency. I also think the country would have been better off in the early Depression with him as President instead of Hoover.

"That man[Hoover] has offered me unsolicited advice for six years, all of it bad."
--Calvin Coolidge

But of course. It was, after all, Hoover's relentless push for interventionist policies that set the stage for FDR's radical agenda and turned the 1929 crash into the Great Depression.

There is a parallel to be drawn with George W. Bush who, with his bailouts, laid the foundation for Obama's completely unrestrained government attack on the economy that will probably produce the Great Depression 2.0.

By contrast, during the 1920-1921 depression, the Harding-Coolidge administration allowed the market to fix itself, turning the whole episode into a mere historical footnote.
