I would choose either Franklin Roosevelt or John Kennedy to try to deal with today's problems, particularly Iraq. Both were very bright. Both were wide ranging and imaginative in the consideration of problems, without some limitations we see today. Both knew human behavior very well, of their own advisers as well as of foreign powers and enemies. Both were not afraid of doing something drastic if necessary and were articulate enough to explain why to the American people. Both loved their country and were devoted to it at any cost to themselves. Both knew how to inspire and lead the American people and the world.\n\nYou say they had some peccadillo's? Don't we all.

Personally i think that 'Golum' from Lord of the Rings would have been a better president and even in 2008. at least he says 'precious' when addressing his personal thoughts..lol

I prefer Hillary back in the White House. She has an agenda, makes it clear, and is tough as nails.\n\nShe got absolutely shafted during the health insurance hearings. It was shameful. I thought she was on the right track at the time. She assumed that since state run health care in a couple of U.S. states was running so nicely that this was probably a smart model to follow. But, she hadn't made any decisions, she just wanted a debate on the matter.\n\nSince she is gone health care cost of started to sky rocket again. She'll tame that beast to some degree, I think.\n\nBut, the main reason I would want the Clinton's back in the White House is because of how well respected they are around the world. Right now we need the help of others and we aren't getting it. \n\nCondie is great, but not ready to be President, and she doesn't want it.

In my lifetime, it was undoubtedly Ronald Reagan.  He shifted our policies dramatically, and allowed the U.S. to recover from a very weakened state in the 70's.\n\nOf course Washington outlined what it meant to be president, and established a great precedent.  People like Jefferson, Madison, and even as far forward as Grover Cleveland followed through in that tradition.  Reagan could also be seen as part of that tradition.\n\nOn the other hand, a number of presidents changed America's course in ways that were less positive.  I blame Woodrow Wilson for leading us into an interventionist foreign policy; Herbert Hoover and FDR for adopting segments of socialist economic policy; and Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon for combining those two failed ideals.  GWBush could also be seen as a part of this tradition.\n\nEveryone's opinion of what makes a great president will differ, depending on what they think makes a great nation.  I prefer the freedom-oriented leaders, such as the early presidents, who valued liberty more than security.

Definitely George Washington.

Oh my goodness yes!! FDR was the man, he's seriously one of my all-time favorite presidents...maybe my favorite. He made such significant changes when he was in office...things that are still relevant to this day. Because of him we have trust in the banks and he's the reason that the parties "switched" their priorities. FDR was definitely amazing. :)

Powell. He's a smart man. Clinton can't keep his pants zipped, and besides his policies are disgusting.\n\nOh wait you're talking about Hillary??? Good God. I vote Powell. He's a much stronger person, and he's not a snob. She rolls her eyes at the President all the time.\n\nI wish Condi would run.\n\nNader. Hah.

Ronald Reagan without a doubt. He played a crucial role in bringing down the Soviet Union and he spurred the American economy during the turbulent 1980s with his Reaganomics.

George Washington.  Got to love those wooden teeth.  \n\n\nCome on what kind of question is this.  The only half way decent not old president was JFK

In my lifetime, Reagan hands down. Ever I'd include Lincoln & Wasgington. All 3 took over during very difficult periods & prevailed over huge obstacles & long odds.

History and time will tell.  It's too early to answer that question.  It's hard to point to one President who was the worst - there were many rather insignificant Presidents.  Ulysses Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, and Cleveland all served during one of the most corrupt eras in U.S. history - I would probably start with one of these men.

George W Bush. He would take care of the children. Clinton would be too busy with 1 of his mistresses.

It's entirely a matter of preference and opinion. \n\nWith that said: Bill Clinton. :)
