Don't I win for originality? Ha ha, anyway, who is your favorite and least favorite US president? If you are not from the US and don't know much about the US presidents go ahead and say so and post you favorite head executive from your country.

My personal favorite is obviously Eisenhower for many reasons, some of which being him starting the construction of the US interstate which is one of the most important, if not the most important part of our infrastructure. I also like how he was the first president to make any significant steps in the area of civil rights since the 1870s.

When I think about it, I don't really have any presidents I paticularly dislike. I suppose Andrew Johnson would be my pick for least favorite.



Yes I used the search bar, I found nothing.

I've never lived with any other than Bush or Obama in hcarge and I've never met any personally, plus I'm British so I can't exactly comment.

My Dad met Clinton once though. Apparently he's a really awesome guy.

Least favorite - Roosevelt (the 32nd president, right?) for making pact with the Russians. Thank you for 50 years of "democratic slavery".

As for the presidents, I liked Washington the most, because he knew a lot of our national heroes. Also with his help, our Tadeusz Kościuszko is also the national hero of USA, too.

My favorite: Abraham Lincoln, his honesty, his actions, and his ulimate sacrifice, point to one of the greatest Americans ever.

Dislike: at this point it's a toss up between Richard Nixon and Barack Obama, time will tell who is worst.

Well, FDR did sell out Eastern Europe to the Soviets behind the backs of his other allies, giving the Soviet's control over resources which would allow the Cold War to go on for so many years. He also provoked Japan by introducing Oil embargos which was starving their empire and causing them to look outwards. It's hard to forgive him for that. Even then he can't really be blamed. He was a poor international statesman and poorer judge of character, who liked Stalin (more than Churchill) because he was not part of 'old Europe'.

I did like Jefferson. Great man and leader.

I'd have to side with Clinton aswell, definately had an eye for the ladies.

Always surprised that Benjamin Franklin never got into office though, would of thought a man of his calibre and genius would of done a good job.

Thomas Jefferson was pretty cool I guess, so was Clinton and Lincoln. Oh, and Pierce, because he was born in NH.


Least favorite? Hmm, probably Harding or Nixon.

My least favorite has to be Bush Senior. Not just because of bad policy decisions, even his worst have been matched or outdone by others, but also because he is a living example of a leader more interested in good politics than good government.

As for fav president, tbh its gotta be Clinton. Yeah he made mistakes but on the whole his policies were sound and showed a long term perspective.

Admittedly, I don't know that many of the older crowd. Anyway...
George W. Bush is the least favorite.
Clinton'd probably my favorite one. Him or JFK.
Obama might be great (I certainly like a lot of things he's done already) but only time will tell. It'd be a bit too early to really comment on him yet.

I won't say he's my absolute least favorite, but Lincoln is pretty high on the list of my least favorites. Right along with FDR, Bush, and Obama.
