Have to think about this one for a little ...

Top of my head I would say Franklin D. without a doubt has to be in the top 3 if not the best

[wayne1218]

I hope you give us an answer Joe. I'm curious to see what you think.

Doc, I hear #35 from a lot of people. I've even heard Republicans say he was one of the best but i couldn't say cuz it was before my time.

1. Reagan

3. FDR

Is it safe to assume Dems will pick 3 Dems and Repubs will pick 3 Repubs?

I would say that Kennedy is a Personal favorite but the Best President?? Not sure ...

No, i meant a lot of people i've talked to always include him as "One of the Best".

[wayne1218]

I'll be honest, and i'm sure i'll get yelled at for being stupid but my 2 personal favorites were about as opposite as it gets ...... but i really liked both.

Reagan
Clinton

1 Rep.
1 Dem.

They must have thought the question asked was "Who was the best Adulterer of all Presidents"?

Reagan

Wayne, I would like you to make it fair and place Washington, Jackson, Adams & Lincoln on there for Spark. The elderly are people too

I disagree that these two are about as opposite as it gets...personally maybe, but not politically. Clinton was a lot more conservative politically than most people perceive. He was a fiscal conservative and indeed the economic outcomes of his presidency were very positive. As a matter of fact, he didn't live up to a lot of his liberal campaign rhetoric...rather worked pretty systematically to build up the federal surplus. By most economic indicators, the Country was in good shape after his 8 years largely because of his fiscal conservatism.

FDR, Ronnie and Clinton
