Thomas Jefferson & Teddy Roosevelt are the presidents I most admire, they got shit done.
Washington tends to get overrated just because he was our first president & FDR gets too much credit for ending The Great Depression.
1. Lincoln
2. T. Roosevelt
3. Jefferson
[QUOTE=falc39]For me it's easily Thomas Jefferson...
-[B]Fricken [I]author[/I] of the Constitution[/B] (most major contributor)
-Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon
-Killed the national bank
-Spearheaded the philosophy of freedom and many other libertarian-type ideals, many that are looked up to and sought today.
-Built and designed the University of Virginia.
Not many people know this, but Jefferson was the first American anthropologist. In addition, he was a farmer, architect, lawyer, among other things. He wasn't just practicing these fields, he contributed to innovating them too. For farming, he designed the moldboard plow. He was fluent in five different languages. Incredibly learned man. Knew his history, literature, and economics. His library was considered legendary at the time for a single person. I haven't even touched on his contributions to religious freedom. In terms of American enlightenment, only Benjamin Franklin can hold a candle against him, but he was never a president... The standard this guy sets when it comes to intellectualism is unreal and I don't think we will ever see a president like him (at least in my lifetime).[/QUOTE]

George Washington
Abraham Lincoln
Thomas Jefferson
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Bill Clinton
Uh james Madison would more appropriately be called the author of the constitution

Thomas Jefferson had slaves, so don't you think he was sort of a hypocrite?
