I would have to go with FDR.  Apparently many people of his time agreed with me, because he is the only President to have been elected four times. He served just over 12 years.  He brought the country out of depression, creating many jobs, such as the TVA and the CCC (Tennessee Valley Authority and Civilian Conservation Corps.) He was a rich man who was truly for the poor people. I think he is just about the greatest President we have ever had, with the possible exception of the first George.\n\nOutside of Presidents, I would have to say Martin Luther King.  He was such a great man.  He worked so hard to establish civil rights and to work out good relations between the races.  I think the worst thing that ever happened to race relations in this country was his assassination.

George Washington is by far the best President to date. He had no idea what he was getting himself into, but took the job anyway. He served the Untied States in the same way he had served the colonies during the Revolution, with complete control and undying support. When asked if he would continue into a third term, he declined. Hell, they tried to make the guy king at first.\n\nOn the complete other side of the spectrum is FDR. He became the country's first elected emperor. It is his fault that the current federal government is so huge. They have to have agencies to watch agencies now because of his liberal reforms. I admit that during the Great Depression, his reforms helped a small portion of the country, but after the War those programs should have been faded out. Instead he set the precedent for the federal government to control every aspect of our lives.

he is a good president!

I would say FDR. Because of helping to get the US out of the depression and creating Social Security. Even though it's that great it sure helps. And the only President to go three terms.

I would be inclined to say that he is a fantastic leader.  He is far from being the best (Reagan) but he is one of my favorite presidents.

There are many that I think are worthy of admiration, but I like George Washington the best.\nHe led the country through some early tumultous times, was a man of high moral principles, and knew when to step down to let others lead.

Definitely Lady Liberty..I don't know why but even if I'm not an American I like her..I think is the greatest symbol of freedom ever...

Emperor Franz Josef of Russia, because he was a noble stateman and daring explorer.  I am sure he would have some great stories of life and death to impart upon me and my other dinner guests!

I think Franklin Delano Roosevelt, because his influence is still felt today.  Social programs, foreign policy are still around 61 years after his death.  I think Woodrow Wilson was very influential with his idea for the League of Nations.  Theodore Roosevelt for his belief in the environment and the national park system.  Eisenhower because of the interstate system.  Nixon because we learned that the President was not infallible.  James Monroe because of his writing of the US Constitution.  Thomas Jefferson because of his brilliance and his gift of books that became the Library of Congress.   That's my list.

Senator McCain. I'm a Democrat myself but I'd love to see McCain run for president. He is one of the few people that would be able to unite the country and end  the divide that has been created in last decade or so.

Physically or Politically?\nPhysically, definitely Barack Obama. \nPolitically I like Clinton and McCain.

Ronald Reagan. He made me feel proud to be an American!

Im going to have to go with John Kerry. Everyone knows he is a flip flop and he bats for both sides so Im giving him the slight advantage over George Washington because Kerry can be involved in gang bangs.
