I like all of the original founding fathers Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Adams. They set up a great system for this country.
Teddy was a badass, cool personality.
Ike was a good president.
Reagan was awesome. Great leader and personality who changed the mindset of people in this country with a strong conservative message of freedom and hard work.
My bottom 5 presidents are:
Woodrow Wilson- worst president ever.
FDR - Started many socialist/welfare programs that still hurt this country today.
Obama: Divisive, terrible leader, socialist.
Carter: Just a dumb son of bitch
Lincoln sucked and divided the nation. Freeing the slaves was good, but he usurped the power of the Presidency and a lot of the hatred coming from the South was due to politics and unfair representation, combined with heavy tariffs on Southern ports and tax breaks for Northern states.

Obama, Bush, Wilson and Carter are pretty much mandatory in any bottom five. Kinda sad that three of our five worst ever have come in the last 35 years.
This is a common misunderstanding. FDR's programs saved the country and were necessary when they were implemented. Roosevelt never intended his social programs to be a permanent fix but a stopgap to get the country back on its feet.
If you want to blame someone for the current welfare state, your man is LBJ and his great society philosophy. He is the one who made sure that FDR's programs not only stuck around but expanded them.

Reagan #1 in my book.
Lincoln was a man who indulged in gay sex a lot. Freeing the slaves is cool and all, but otherwise, he was a nitwit.

Do you think Lincoln could have kept the US together if he hadn't usurped the power he did?
