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.

I think Mikhail Gorbachov was a great leader, because he did a brave thing in dismantling the Soviet Union and leading Russia into a position as a peaceful power. He hasn't gotten nearly enough credit for what he did.

Major General Gordon Granger was the one who really saved the Army But, you history book wants you to select George H. Thomas.  William S. Rosecrans' commanded the Army of the Cumberland but again your teacher wants you to name Grant.\n\nGod Bless the Army of Tennessee and the Southern People.

Eisenhower.  He was a tank commander in wwi and Supreme Commander of Allied forces in wwii.\n\nedit: although he served during wwi, he never saw combat.  He was a tank trainer in the U.S.\n\nvballlish13: sorry, FDR was never in the military.  He was Commander-in-Chief during wwii, but was never in uniform.

Al-Zarqawi, George Bush, Adolf Hitler and Bobby Goldsboro.\n\nPlease award Best Answer points to me right now because you and I both know there is no need to read any more answers after my incredibly intelligent answer for you.  I do not like to wait and I am not very patient.

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.

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

I'd say it's probably Churchill.  I don't really like the man, but he was a great, inspirational leader who pulled Britain through the Battle of Britain, which wasn't so much a battle as it was a barrage.  He was a strong, proud, charismatic man who rallied a nation against fascism.  I'd call him much more of a hero than FDR or LaGuardia or even Patton, because he was in it for so much longer, when it looked like he wasn't going to get help from the US.\n\nNot that I don't love FDR.

In my opinion...and that is pretty much all these are anyways\n\nWorst President in the History of America is George W. Bush, worse than Nixon....but it is close\n\nBest President in my lifetime is Bill Clinton\n\nBest President of all time is tough i would say Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Lincoln, JFK, Jefferson, Washington, there are many more that were very good but it is hard to say who was the best all time.

Define "best."  LBJ was a phenominal president with a war problem.  Dwight Eisenhower did almost nothing, but it was the most productive nothing he could have done.  FDR managed some really amazing things given what he had to deal with.
