Well NYC is so big it is ridiculous. Please don't assume that I live out in country I live in a city. A city has over 50,000 people. A town has under 50,000. My city has 55,000.

That's cute. I thought my city was small, at 6 times the population of yours.

I'm not trying to say that I live in a big city. I am just saying that I am not a hick that lives out in the middle of nowhere. It seems like us North Dakotains are always sterio-typed to be that way.

If "uneducated" is part of that stereotype, you are perpetuating it yourself.

Lincoln, with Kennedy and FDR close behind.

...And for somewhat comic effect, and because no one else has said it yet...

OBAMA IS TEH BESTZ PREZ EVAR!!!!1111ELEVENTY!!

That's something I appreciate about him, he didn't neccesarily do what was popular, but he did do what was right.

Yes, determination is a very valuable quality...
That Obama doesn't have.

My top 15 List would be
1. Teddy Roosevelt
2. Lincoln or Coolidge
3. Lincoln or Coolidge
4. Truman or Reagen
5. Truman or Reagen
6. Taylor or Jefferson
7. Taylor or Jefferson
8. James Madison
9. Benjamin Harrison
10. Cleveland
11. G. W. Bush
12. Eisenhower
13. G. H. W. Bush
14. Wasington
15. McKinley

But as you can see my favorite is still Teddy Roosevelt.

Washington was the most important president. Establishing a policy of neutrality and leading a pathetic 'union of 13 states' to becoming a sound country was impressive. And he prevented another monarchy, which many Americans wanted at the time; Washington ruling until death then send in the new guy.

Lincoln was a great president but did break all the laws. Whatever. He was thrust into a terrible situation and ended up eliminating slavery and preserving the Union. Not too shabby.

Wilson would be the #1 if he didn't f*ck up in Europe. It should have been 15 Points, the 15th being f*ck you Britain, Italy and France; I bailed you out, I call the shots. We're not gonna make Germany pay for all your reps. Hard to blame any of the European countries, and even harder to blame Wilson for not being a stubborn prick, but if he were WWII may have been different.

FDR like Lincoln was thrown into a shitty situation and didn't really get better. Although, he did develop an atomic bomb, win a war, and ally with Communism. Go him...

Reagan reinforced the US as a powerhouse. Iran Hostage Crisis, that Wall thing. Reaganomics. Oh and he was the last good Republican president we've had!

[spurgistan]

Taft!..damn right.

Washington the most importent. I think that some people git confused. Before the constitution was put into place there were the articles of confederation. So when wasington took office the counrty had already been around for several years.
