Lincoln more than anyone proved ability in the most extreme circumstances.

EDIT: I wonder if I called Buchanan out as the best president and nobody would pick up on it. Well, at least the Americans not getting it.

Andrew Jackson.
He was in a duel, got shot in the chest, then proceeded to shoot the other man's head off.
He was a super badass.

Teddy Roosevelt.

Anyone who gets shot during a speech and then continues has to be made of some tough shit.

Barack Obama. Only because he's such a dude.
In terms of policies, I don't really know enough about American political history as far as policies are concerned. So I'll rank them in terms of dudeiness. Obama and JFK come top.

Teddy-motherloving-Roosevelt. One day, Teddy Roosevelt was sitting in his office, pondering about trade with the East and West coasts. He heard about an idea by some French dudes for building a canal accross Panama. Except they failed to do it. The terrain was too rough, the pullution was incredible, and the diseases spread by mosquitos was horrifying.
Teddy figured those things didn't matter too much, so he went and built the canal without a single casualty from pestilence.
And then he found $5.

Teddy Roosevelt. He charged up a hill on foot, was a champion kick boxer, had a black belt in jujitsu, kept a lion, bear, and a badger as pets, (the badger was a 'gift' form a girl at one of his speeches, which she threw at him), not to mention he got shot at a speech and told the bullet to go fuck itself, because he had a fucking speech to finish.

All other Presidents combined and Chuck Norris are inferior in every way.

Barrack Obama.

Why? Because I'm not American, and he's black. It's an automatic choice.

Andrew Jackson was a pretty cool president. I believe he's the one who killed a man in a dual.

EDIT: Crap how can I be so stupid as to forget Teddy! I did a report on him in the 4th grade. He was pretty much awesome.

George Washington was a terrible General, but an excellent President.

Still, I love Warren G. Harding. Because he was almost certainly our worst President. That's kind of admirable. It takes a lot of skill to be that horrible. Also, he gives me a retort for knee-jerk Bush haters.

Okay, seriously I probably liked Lincoln the best. He was a fascinating man. He believed in freedom for all men, but at the same time was pretty clearly a racist. He wanted blacks to be free, but he didn't want them in his America.

LIEZ!

Joking aside, I don't know if he was a good general or not. I just can't help but feel that being a general at all added to his badassedness, since I'm assuming it takes a good bit of work to attain such a title.

Agreed. There's a reason Cracked likes him so much.
