As usual my favorite president gets dissed. I think the last really great president we had was Calvin Coolidge.

CC undoubtedly understood and respected economic principles better than any president before or since. If the Republican Party had begged him to run again in 1928, the phrases "The Crash of 1929" and "The Great Depression" most likely would never have entered into the world's vocabulary. That could have made all the difference in the 20th Century. Might have been a lot different.

Definitely my two fave's. Ronaldus kept a picture of Coolidge on his desk as a constant reminder to remain a gentalman and conservative.
