I'm just curious to see what the scratch community thinks. So go ahead and say what your 2 favorite American presidents were/are, and who you think should be president.
And no, I'm not including a Least Favorite President list.
Just say what your favorite is please. Don't say anything to put down anyone or start a flame war.
Favorite:
Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan
Who I think should be president:
John Boehner, if he can control his emotions better.
Total:
Thomas Jefferson-1
Ronald Reagan-2
Abraham Lincoln-5
George Washington-1
John F. Kennedy-2
Franklin D. Roosevelt-4
Dwight D Eisenhower-1
Andrew Jackson-3
Williams H Taft-1

But, since it's open for now, I'll mention Abraham Lincoln. I'm anti-republican, but I can get past that since he abolished slavery.

My opinion? Politicians are inert idiots, every single one.

Abraham Lincoln. Gee, I wonder why?
Franklin D. Roosevelt is probably the other one, I guess.
James Knox Polk for most underrated president!

Actually, Abraham Lincoln's Republican Party more closely resembles the Democratic Party of today.

And James K. Polk for his awesome hair.

That's exactly where we are in AP US.
Jackson was a pretty influential fellow- I wonder why he gets kind of ignored (except in history class). But anyway, since we aren't all the way through history, I'm not going to pick a favorite, although I've always liked FDR for some reason...

Andrew Jackson was a brat and shot people that insulted him or his wife. He also messed up the bank but he's pretty fun to read about

But seriously, he was the only president to become a Supreme Court Justice. That was pretty cool.

Funny thing, we're doing a project in Social Studies where you make a poster for a president you want to add to Mt. Rushmore. I'm doing Eisenhower, so change my vote to him.
(Nearly everyone else is doing JFK, FDR, or Ronald Reagan)
