Of all the presidents still alive, who would you want as a President and why?

Every night I pray that we can get Clinton back into the White House! We had a surplus budget, we weren't fighting over oil. We could still travel outside the US and not have to lie that we are from some other country. We could look other Americans in the eyes and not be ashamed, because 9 months after a natural disaster, they are still homeless, displaced and forgotten...... Hilary will work also, and Obama would be divine..................... Can you imagine what those uptight republicans would think with a woman president and a black vice president.... They would be spouting for the next 8 years!

Gerald Ford, who will be 93 on July 14, is the oldest living US President.  Next oldest is George H.W. Bush (dob 6/12/1924), Jimmy Carter (10/1/1924), George W Bush (7/6/1946), and Bill Clinton (8/19/1946)

a vp\n\nhe would be a good president in 2012 or 2016. He is still young now, and being  a VP would be a good step in a serious presidental campaign

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.

Who wants yahoo answers to get rid of answerers  who ignore the actual question because they're too busy criticising a simple, common spelling error?\n\nAnd yes, I do want another president.\nUnfotunately, that cannot happen now but with the current term expiring in two years, we will have a new one. What we need to be careful about is the possibility of electing (or selecting) one just as incompetent as the current one.

I am a Democrat. And I am hoping that Rudy Giuliani, the GOP ex-mayor of NYC, will run for President. I think Colin Powell is the greatest American living today. I think Reagan did a great job of restoring the USA to respect and dignity after Watergate and Iran. I think John McCain is one of the smartest men I've ever heard speak. \n\nYou will notice, though, that none of these people were part of the soon-to-be-ex leadership in Washington.

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.

Bill Clinton...mmmm...sure.  He's sexy in a sort of global consciousness way...\n\nDefinitely JFK, except for the fact that he's now a rotting corpse.  But I think I could get past that.\n\nGeorge Washington and Abe Lincoln.  Powerful!\n\nBut the number one hottie dead prez...Buchanan!

I'd put a new president in the White House.  Preferably one with actual knowledge of what the nation and the world is going through.  And also a new Senate, a new Congress, and new Supreme Court judges.

There are so many! I think I would have to go with George Washington.  Can you believe what he did with what others called an army of men with pitchforks? He was a good leader and because of that we were able to establish the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and he was our first President.  He is one of our founding fathers.  That would be a great paper to write on because it can be about patriotism and that's what our country needs right now.  Let us know who you go with!
