- George Washington, first president of the United States, leader of continental army in Revolutionary War.
- Teddy Roosevelt, fought in Spanish-American war, medal of honor recepiant, square deal.
WORST presidents of all time: - Bill Clinton, impeached for lying under oath and for obstruction of justice, created one of the biggest tax increases in U.S. history, cut defense spending and allowed Obama Bin Laden to escape from Sudan after exile from Saudi Arabia, even after given the chance to capture him in 1995, housing programs in the 1990s for Fannie and Freddie caused current recession, signed NAFTA which costed millions of manufacturing jobs, did nothing to stop 2001 recession, worst president in history.
- Jimmy Carter, the malaise president, Iran hostage situtaion, had one of the biggest economic disasters in U.S. history (Nice guy but presidency was a disaster.) Better as an ex-president.
- John F. Kennedy, Bay of Pigs massacre (which actually caused the Cuban missle crisis in the first place) started war in Vietnam. Father bought 1960 election. (Only praised by democrats because of his assassination.)

Actually, it's not, Dante, the country of Sudan offered OBL to the United States in 1995, but, Bill Clinton and his attorney general, Janet Reno wouldn't accept Bin Laden for "lack of evidence" in the 1993 WTC bombings, so Bin Laden fled to Afganistan where he started Al-Queida!

You seem to have a bias against modern Democrats and there. Carter wasn't perfect, but I don't think he was as bad as you make him out to be, and he did a lot to ease tensions in the Middle East. I strongly disagree with your assertion that JFK was that bad. He had faults, which you mention, but also founded the Peace Corps, and, I think, did a lot tp avoid war with the Soviets. He entered into the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, afterall. LBJ ran the Vietnam War terribly, but he also signed the Civil Rights Act (though, granted, more credit can be given to JFK there), one of the most important acts in modern American history. And Truman did many great things like found NATO, help found the U.N., and aid Europe after WWII.
You don't mention Pierce or Buchanan who did nothing to stop, or during, the American Civil War. Not to mention Harding or Andrew Johnson.
I don't want Fop, goddamn it!
