Franklin D. Roosevelt. The best friend in a president that working people have ever had.

FDR, I agree fully. Obama, Clinton, both at the bottom of the list in my opinion.

Of course Barack Obama. It would be such a funny sight, I would have a photo of it in my wallet and whenever I felt depressed I could pull it out and have a good laugh! Ha ha!

I'd vote for JFK, not because he achieved a lot politically in his short presidency, but because he embodied the hopes of an entire generation. His death changed the destiny of the nation and the lives of so many.

President Grover Cleveland. The only president to have served two none consecutive terms in office. He was also an amazing president.

Either Reagan, or Andrew Jackson.

There has never been a great U.S. president. A blank face should be carved into Rushmore to symbolize all the Americans who have democratically organized to demand every right we have. Lincoln only abolished the slaves because of the push from abolitionists, Washington ordered the execution of American soldiers who protested during the Revolutionary War, TR was an outspoken white supremacist and imperialist, and Thomas Jefferson owned 237 slaves, releasing only 5 at his death, his own children.

As Teddy said,
His mustache alone deserves lithoimmortality. And yes, I did just make that word up.

I also vote for John Adams, who prevented a war with France though there was an inflamed public outcry for it.

Dwight Eisenhower - the last truly great American president.

Abraham Lincoln
He kept the South and the North together for the United States of America in macro perspectives.

Obama, are you kidding? He already got a Nobel Prize just for giving a few speeches.

FDR of course. This man got a country in ruins and made it into a superpower few years later.

FDR. Nobody's going to mess with Mount Rushmore now, though -- not only because it's an icon as it is, but FDR leads the pack of presidents not represented, and there's a limit of one Roosevelt per national monument.

@Globalwatcher,
Too late. He's already up there. :-D
@Gaijinfo
Ahh Andrew Jackson! The man who came closest to declaring himself "King of the United States"! When the Supreme Court declared his unilateral change to the United States' treaties with the indians unconstitutional, he told the Supreme Court to f*** off because he was President and they couldn't tell him what to do!

I'd abstain from voting. We can't afford it. Besides why isn't it good enough as is?
