Washington, Lincoln and FDR are pretty much set in place as the 3 Presidents who most defined the Presidency and were the best. Washington was the first President under the new governing system, Lincoln inherited the nation's worst national crisis, and FDR had both the Great Depression and World War II. Anyone saying FDR doesn't deserve the top 3 is fooling themselves.

For a 4th, I would have to say President Obama. Bush/Obama can easily be connected back to Hoover/FDR in the fact that their Republican predecessors destroyed the economy before they took office added onto that Obama ended the Iraq War and is a very bipartisan President. 5th would be Theodore Roosevelt, 6th is James Monroe, 7th is John F. Kennedy, 8th is Dwight Eisenhower, 9th is Thomas Jefferson, and 10th is Bill Clinton. Adams Sr./Jr., Wilson, Truman, McKinley, Carter, and WH Harrison and Zachary Taylor (had they lived longer) also get worthy mentions.


Please tell me you're joking.

I don't put FDR in my top 5, and he only cracks the top 10 because of his leadership in World War II and introduction of the FDIC, the SEC and Social Security, just my opinion.

1. George Washington

2. Abraham Lincoln

3. Ronald Reagan

4. Calvin Coolidge

5. Grover Cleveland

6.  James Polk

7. Dwight Eisenhower

8.  Thomas Jefferson

9. Franklin Roosevelt

10. James Monroe

Honorable Mention: Harry Truman
