Not me. Jefferson was the first of the big spenders, submitting a public works project that Congress rejected, which would have made FDR blush. He ran from the British while Hamilton and Washington and Monroe were fighting; he did correctly authorize the first foreign (not counting Canada) use of force by the U.S. military, without a declaration of war. He blundered into the fantastic purchase of Louisiana, which at the time was extra-constitutional---and I'm glad he did.
Lincoln had faults, but his vision of the declaration was every bit as perfect as Jefferson's and his actions no more, or less, defensible.
