Who was the Best President?

I believe what makes a great president are a combination of extremely good ethics and a well defined understanding of the human factor involved in such great responsibility. \n\nThe president who uses these best has worked towards balancing National domestic needs and International good will.\n\nAs selected by the Democrats, and leading the list for best President since 1945 is Ronald Reagan. \n\nSurprisingly, the same is true of the Republicans. They considered him over Abraham Lincoln.  See list:\nPoll Results: Which Republican President Was Best?  \nAbraham Lincoln     34.69% \nTeddy Roosevelt     16.33% \nCalvin Coolidge         6.12% \nHerbert Hoover          0 0% \nDwight D. Eisenhower    0 0% \nRichard Nixon     2.04% \nGerald Ford    0 0% \nRonald Reagan     36.73% \nGeorge HW Bush     2.04% \nGeorge W Bush      2.04% \n\nOf course there are those in Princeton who think George Bush is the best...I guess they don't follow the news.\n\nAnyway, as a Canadian, it was President Clinton and President Franklin D. Roosevelt who impressed me the most.

I'd say from least to most popular...\n\n1. George W. Bush\n2. Jimmy Carter\n3. Bill Clinton\n4. George H. W. Bush\n5. Ronald Regan\n\n2, 3, and 4 are open for moving around, but I think that 1 and 5 are pretty solid.  Before you "W" fans start singing praises about non-existent accomplishments....  NO President in my lifetime has EVER divided the country the way he has.  NO President in my lifetime has EVER had such a low approval rating.  In fact, I think no President ever has had such a low approval rating, my lifetime or not.

Which office?  If you mean President of the U.S., that would be Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Yeah, ya might say he was pretty successful, winning a war and all.

Best - Reagan for killing the Soviet Empire\nWorst - Harding for the Teapot Dome scandal, but at the rate he is going, ol' "W" may pass him by!

Albert Einstein. \n\nHe was very smart, intuitive, and a humanitarian. All of the things we need today.

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.

Best = tie between Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt\nWorse = George W. Bush; without fail and or reservations.

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.

Best President since John F. Kennedy. He gave us the best economy we've ever had and brought us respect in the world. So what he got a quickie? At least he lied about something inconsequential. Too bad he couldn't prevent 9/11 - at least he tried though. Overall excellent President.

Often credited with being the first  "modern president". Rough Riders. Panama Canal. Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the end of the war between Russia and Japan. One of America's greatest presidents.

George Bush - hands down

I am nominating Winston Churchill as the best leader in history. He got his country through the war and started the built-up after the war. A winning country in a war (if that exists at all) is always lagging behind economically afterwards and he could not avoid that but I think a great leader is also there to unite the people of a country and he did that very well. \n\nAs for the worst leader I was doubting between Hitler and Stalin. Not only did they kill an enourmous amount of people, either by war or by torture and execution. They got the countries at war with the rest of the world basically. Besides that they left their country and its people in a deplorable state, from which I think Russia is still recovering.
