Title: Top ten Presidents Post by: °Leprechaun on April 14, 2018, 05:52:36 PM The number is their number as POTUS (1-45)
you can vote all 10 up or down and 2 more votes if you think there were others you approve of Title: Re: Top ten Presidents Post by: pbrower2a on April 14, 2018, 06:17:24 PM Mine:
1, 2, and 3 are in some order Washington, Lincoln, and FDR. A matter of taste, but the conventional top 3. 4 and 5 are our top two peacetime Presidents -- Jefferson and T R. 6 -- Truman gets this for dealing with the loose ends of WWII, setting up the postwar response to Communism, and making sure that America's response in victory was mercy instead of revenge. 7. James Knox Polk gets credit for annexing the southwestern quadrant of the USA. 8. Eisenhower. Getting America out of the Korean war gracefully, putting law against political advantage, letting Joseph R. McCarthy implode, and sponsoring the Interstate Highway System. 9. Barack Obama. The next great conservative President will behave much like him. 10. Wilson -- excellent conduct of American involvement in WWI. Fault: racism. Title: Re: Top ten Presidents Post by: OSR stands with Israel on April 14, 2018, 06:21:02 PM 1. George Washington
2. Abraham Lincoln 3. FDR 4. Thomas Jefferson 5. Teddy Roosevelt 6. Harry Truman 7. Ronald Reagan 8. Dwight Eisenhower 9. James Monroe 10. William McKinley Title: Re: Top ten Presidents Post by: Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist on April 14, 2018, 10:05:27 PM Exact order is somewhat malleable, so I'm putting gaps to separate out clear levels within my top ten:
1. Abraham Lincoln 2. Franklin Roosevelt 3. Theodore Roosevelt 4. George Washington 5. James Madison 6. Lyndon Johnson (Civil rights and Medicare far outweigh Vietnam) 7. Dwight Eisenhower 8. Thomas Jefferson 9. John Adams 10. James Monroe Could potentially see Obama in the lower half of the top 10 at some point, but not ready to put him up there yet. I still need more time to see how durable his accomplishments prove to be. Also putting this here Most overrated: Andrew Jackson Most underrated: William Howard Taft Title: Re: Top ten Presidents Post by: Bismarck on April 14, 2018, 10:36:00 PM Madison’s presidency was a disaster.
1. Lincoln 2. Washington 3. Teddy Roosevelt 4. FDR 5. Eisenhower 6. Jefferson 7. Truman 8. Reagan 9. Polk 10. Monroe or Clinton Title: Re: Top ten Presidents Post by: Pyro on April 14, 2018, 10:54:54 PM 1. Lincoln
That's it. Title: Re: Top ten Presidents Post by: dw93 on April 14, 2018, 11:06:54 PM Beyond the top 3, the ranking might be a little out of order:
1. FDR 2. Lincoln 3. Washington 4. Truman 5. T. Roosevelt 6. Eisenhower 7. Monroe 8. Madison 9. Jefferson 10. Polk Most Overrated: tie between JFK and Reagan Most Underrated: Ford, HW Bush, LBJ (at least by the Public) Title: Re: Top ten Presidents Post by: ScottieF on April 15, 2018, 05:57:53 AM 1. Franklin D. Roosevelt
2. Abraham Lincoln 3. George Washington 4. Harry S. Truman 5. Theodore Roosevelt 6. Lyndon B. Johnson 7. Barack Obama 8. Dwight D. Eisenhower 9. Thomas Jefferson 10. Woodrow Wilson Title: Re: Top ten Presidents Post by: America Needs R'hllor on April 15, 2018, 07:27:01 AM 1. Franklin D. Roosevelt
2. Abraham Lincoln 3. George Washington 4. Dwight D. Eisenhower 5. Theodore Roosevelt 6. Harry Truman 7. Woodrow Wilson 8. James Monroe 9. Thomas Jefferson 10. Barack Obama A bit sad that Obama makes the cut, lol. |
