Hehe thats good.

I have been thinking about this for the past few hours and I am having a hard time narrowing it down. I pretty much agree with all those listed here, I just don't know in what order I would place them.

I'll keep chewing on it.

I have more research to do, my opinions will evolve. I’m confident Trump will make the list.

Washington, set the standard.
Coolidge, didn’t do a thing for the country, exactly what we needed.
Reagan, a Coolidgean at heart, who could talk
Lincoln, met the challenge of massive cultural change

The fifth one is a challenge. T. Roosevelt could be the one. Harry Truman is one I admire, too, for his character if not his politics. Met the daunting challenge he faced. Jefferson ought to be up there. Most of this was his idea.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Washington
Lincoln
and Reagan (although I was disappointed in his second term);
Jefferson for several reasons: Louisiana Purchase and the Louis and Clarke Expedition to follow, & handling of Barbary Pirates.
I want to say Theodore Roosevelt for his legacy of National Parks and Forests, but I’ve come to believe his foreign policy was misguided and may have aided Japan’s rise as a military power in the Far East. IOW, I don’t know who I would put in the 5th place—maybe it will be Trump, too soon to know.

I was thinking Oba, Carter, Hillary, then her husband Billary. But that's only four. Wink

I'm an Andrew Jackson fan myself. In my mind he embodied the tough as nails American spirit. Fought in the War For Independence as a kid, served in the Army, served in congress, and was a champion of the individual vice the state. He was a fighter and I like that.

I think of General Mattis as his contemporary equivalent (although some say he is closer to Grant, and I have heard Eisenhower, but no way. Ike wasn't nearly as ferocious. Ike was a statesman in and out of uniform, more of a political general).
