Re: Best US president ever ?
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

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).

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