Anybody who did not have the Father of Our Country somewhere on the list is hopeless. Just hopeless. Hell, he's practically the Mother of the Country, too. The guy could have been dictator for life, - and he probably would have deserved it. He DID everything and WAS everything this nation could have hoped for from the very beginning. He held it together before there even was a together to hold. You leave him off your list and the rest of your list ain't worth your last bowel movement. It's like leaving Bud Wilkinson out of your top 5 OU football coaches

1. GEORGE WASHINGTON
2. Abraham Lincoln
3. FDR (He did guide the Nation through WWII)
4. Ronny (Cold War Ender)
4 & 1/2 TR (Just Bully)
5. Chester A. Arthur (father of the modern Navy & the civil service)

The last 3.5 are up for grabs. I may not know much else (like how to count to 5), but I know you can't have list of Presidents without George.
Fix your lists.
NOW, maggots!

Sorry, I forgot to say <end rant>
Carry on.

I should have added him. He is our Founding Father. He's more above the word "president" in my opinion. He's basically the beginning of America. But that doesn't necessarily mean he is everyone's "favorite" president of all time.

[Curly Bill]

1. Washington
2. Jefferson
3. Reagan
4. Madison
5. Ike

[picasso]

You can't forget Ike. He had a putting green on the white house lawn. A putting green Jerry!

[SicEmBaylor]

3. Lincoln

You're dead to me.

[SicEmBaylor]

He wasn't a US President.

[SicEmBaylor]

2. Abraham Lincoln


You're dead to me.

[CrimsonJim]

SicEm is a Lincoln hater? I'm glad I used first names so he don't hate on me. :D

I'm not up for it, but if you do a search you can find one of 50,000 threads where it's discussed.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Any Top 5 that doesn't include George Washington cannot be taken seriously.

[SicEmBaylor]

Washington is sort of a given.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Abraham Lincoln, too.

[OU_Sooners75]

1. Bill Clinton (he made it an art at getting his thang massaged in the oval office)
2. JFK
3. Ron Reagan
4. Abe Lincoln
5. Truman

[AggieTool]

1. Bill Clinton (he made it an art at getting his thang massaged in the oval office)

I have found most of my history books growing up to be inaccurate and biased... so let's just go with the five presidents of my lifetime... ever since 1983...

1- Ronald Reagan. The Cold War ended!
2- George H.W. Bush. He got the boot from voters by raising taxes, but it was the right thing to do for the future of our country's economy.
3- Barack Obama. Only because I feel indifferently at the moment.
4- George W. Bush. The first president I was eligible to vote for. I was thoroughly unimpressed during his eight years in office, but I was never embarrassed.
5- Bill Clinton. His foreign relations and fiscal policies seemed sound, but back home, he ensured that his would-be successor Al Gore would lose by not keeping his pants (or his truth telling) on. His unpopularity set his party back, opening doors for the Contract with American and rise of the Republicans that lasted 10 years (96-06).

If I was basing it on the "greater good" for American, Clinton would rank higher, but I have absolutely no respect for Clinton, because he has absolutely no respect for women.

[My Opinion Matters]

how so.

Nixon is history's greatest monster.

[JLEW1818]

Nixon is history's greatest monster.

he didn't **** around tho!!!

[JLEW1818]

George Washington is probably the most important person in United States history... but that does not mean he has to be your favorite president.

Most important..? yes

[CrimsonJim]

How is it even possible that "the most important person in United States history" doesn't make someone's top 5 list of favorite presidents? Sounds like fuzzy-logic in action. ;)

i took care of it.

[CrimsonJim]

Nice edit, but that's cheating. :D

[OU_Sooners75]

Ughhh....so did JFK.

Yeah, well JFK apparently pissed off the wrong husband...he didnt complete one term. Had he, he easily be #1.

[sooner_born_1960]

Nixon is history's greatest monster.

That's a pretty strong statement. However wrong it might be.

[TMcGee86]

Nixon was a great President. Not a very good man, but a great president.

Ended JFK's vietnam fiasco.

Ended the draft.

Balanced the budget.

Created SSI

Gave us the Space Shuttle Program.

etc, etc.

Had he not been so paranoid and neurotic, he would have gone down as one of the greatest presidents in history imho.
