Definately Ronald Reagan.  He handled the Middle East situation quite well when it came up during the time he held office.\n\nTo whomever suggested Clinton:  why do you think he has any answers now?  He managed to studiously overlook the matter for his entire 8 year in office. Though I do understand he made out well with his understaff.  *WG*

Dwight D. Eisenhower\n\n"John Rogers, a resourceful Reagan aide now nominated to be undersecretary of state for management, found in an attic pieces of the old cork floor from the Oval Office. Some had cleat marks from Dwight Eisenhower's golf shoes (his putting green was just outside the Oval Office). Rogers put them in lucite with the inscription: "This fragment of cork was part of the floor installed in the White House Oval Office in 1934. The floor supported six Presidents of the United States before it was removed in 1969."

Though Lincoln, Jefferson, and Reagan are good choices, I think you'd have to give it to Washington because he lead the country in its infancy and he had nothing to go on.  He basically had to make it up as he went along.  He had no history to fall back on, and no standards to comfort him.

Truman was in office during the Korean War. Eisenhower was the president after Truman.

Reagan was president when the Soviet Union collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. He was a very divisive figure in U.S. and world politics.\n\nFor references in the lyrics, check out this site: http://www.teacheroz.com/fire.htm

Reverend Jonathan Blanchard was the first president.  Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Blanchard_(Wheaton) for more information.

Absurd. Reagan lacked the authority to do that. The timing was due to the fact that the Iranians had contempt for Carter but they feared Reagan.

BILL CLINTON!  Even though he got a BJ in the oval office, he was still MUCH smarter then Bush!  I don't know anything about Henry Kissinger, so I can't help there.

The answer depends on how you define "President."\n\nGeorge Washington was the first President of the United States under the current US Constitution.  However, the constitution was not ratified until 1789.  \n\nPrior to the constitution, the US was run under The Articles of Confederation from 1781-1789.  The first president under the Articles of Confederation was Samuel Huntington.\n\nThe US won its independence in 1781.  However, independence was declared in 1776.  At the time, the US was run by the Continental Congress.  Its presiding officer was John Hancock.\n\nThe attached article gives a complete list of presidents prior to the constitution.

None.\n\nJohnson - Impeached but not removed\n\nTricky-Dicky Nixon - Impeached, but resigned before the trial\n\nWilly Clinton - Impeaced but not removed.\n\n\nHmmmm..... Johnson, Dicky, and Willy. There seems to be a theme going on.

Presidents who were single at the time of election:  Jefferson (widowed), Van Buren (widowed), Buchanan (never married), Arthur (widowed), and Cleveland (married after being elected).\n\nDivorced: Ronald Reagan was divorced from his first wife, Jane Wyman, and had gotten remarried to Nancy Davis.\n\nNon-Christian:  Several of the early Presidents (notable Jefferson, both Adamses) were deists, which would not be considered Christian by today's standard, though they likely were at the time.  Several others (Fillmore, Taft) were Unitarian.
