Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory, was a very successful president.  Having been a General in the War of 1812 and lead the American Force's to Victory in the Battle Of New Orleans, he was already a national hero.  Things were going to be done his way or they were not going to be done at all.  As President, Jackson vetoed more legislation than any other president and often changed members of his cabinent as well as other advisors when they were in dispute to his policies.  As President he probably used his control of the Executive Branch of our Government in a stronger manner than those before him and certainly many that came after him.  He was the 8th President of the United States and served from 1833 to 1841.

As you point out no body's perfect, but one must consider both the good and the bad. Perhaps President Lincoln wasn't everything that high school history books paint him to be but he was president during one of the most crucial eras in our history. Whether or not he was a good guy is not as important as how his administration has affected the course of this country. If you dig around in anybodies past you can find lots of undesirable things. All nations need heroes and by consensus we have made Mr. Lincoln one of ours. One bright spot in all of this is that the memorial itself is indeed a wonderful structure and has served as a platform for many changes in our nation.

Jackson is a throwback - he's a Martin Luther King protege and, true to that past, still views issues from an Us vs. Them perspective.  Obama, being a couple decades younger, did not experience the same segregation that black people of Jackson's generation did and thus has a perspective on race that is more inclusive.  Overall, I'd say that Jackson represents past viewpoints while Obama represents the present, and possibly future.

I like a president that is responsive to the people that elected him/her, someone that has the betterment of the country at heart and not one that is into the politics of hate or what is good for himself or his rich Buddy's. I think value wise it is more important to lead by example the to lead by doctrine

Can't completely evaluate his presidency right now.  We will have to see what becomes of all the things he has set in motion.\nKeep in mind that some of our best presidents were wildly unpopular in their day - Jefferson, Lincoln, and T. Roosevelt.  I am not suggesting he will ever be in that league, just that there is a good chance that all the rhetoric about what is going on is short sighted and prevents us from properly evaluating the long term impact of his presidency.\nAs a man I guess he's a good guy.  He cares for his family; doesn't seem to lie, cheat, or steal (I can't listen to those panty-wearring sisies who think he lied everyone into war - if they're not even smart enough to read the actual words he used and pay attention to the UN Resolutions).  I think he's a little creepy sometimes, but I'm not inviting him to any cook-outs.\nAs a world leader?  Hmmm.  I don't care.  If the euro-weenies and insecure Canadians don't like him what do I care?  If the presidency had to answer to all those constituencies then we would be in real trouble.\nMy opinion about his presidency in generic terms:  C- on domestic issues (the brutal expansion of the federal government) and grades are still out on foreign issues (if I had to guess it's probably going to be around a B-.

there were many good presidents and many not soo good presidents.  since i dont know my history well enough to answer this i will just guess at a few that i think were good.  george w.  and i mean WASHINGTON and not bush.  abe lincoln.  Theodore roseavelt.  JKF.  and i'm actually considering William Clinton.  I might be missing a few but like i said it was an educated guess.

most unlikely is Micheal Jackson. I think it will be...I am not sure who would make a good president

The best thng a president coming into office can hope for is "a mess". Look at Jimmy Carter. It makes it easier to get good poll numbers if the outgoing pres is unpopular.

He's an excellent President of the U.S.A.

No, but I think he was a better president that his predecessor and his incumbent.  \n\nPushing that website, aren't you?

Ulysses S. Grant, poor man, will probably hang on to his worst President ranking for some time to come.\n\nHaving said that, this President has, for all his vaunted business experience, done a particularly crappy job in choosing and managing people.\n\nAnd they, in turn, have done a particularly crappy job in running the Administration.

He is a good man, that has made a difference in his lifetime. But I really don't think that he is presidential material, of course he would have done better then the one we got. Because the one we got is soooooo bad.

No, I think the right woman would make a good President, black or white, as long as it wasn't Hilary.

In my opinion he is!\nHe was a so-so president in his first term, but now he is worse, he knows there is no being elected again for him, so he has given up trying to do good for America. And I fear the next president we get, will not do any better.

I believe it was Andrew Jackson.

It is great despite some blacks calling him an Oreo and Democrats denigrating him on a racist basis. But many blacks are beginning to support him, understanding that we need strong leadership when we are in a world war with Islamic radicals who want to kill every non-Muslim American or rule over us.\n\nHow many blacks in 8 years of the Clinton administration top positions? One, Ron Brown. Democrats preach diversity but all they want is minority group dependency - not actually share in true leadership.
