Wasn’t there some fella from CA not on that list that should have been?
they gave Ronald Reagan an “honorable mention”....sheesh.
Polk makes the list, even though he was fairly passive and just went along with whatever congress wanted, and Reagen doesn’t make the list at all. Polk, Truman and Ike are middle of the pack. Not bad, but not top ten material either.
Ronald Reagan is number one- far and away.
That an SOB elitist like Wilson is on the list makes me gag.
6. Theodore Roosevelt
7. Woodrow Wilson
Figures...
2 “Progressive” POS’s if I ever saw one.
“2. Franklin Delano Roosevelt Having won four terms as president, FDR was sure to have a huge impact on the United States. His leadership throughout World War II was key to our victory. Further, he worked tirelessly to end the Great Depression including the creation of numerous programs through his New Deal to help Americans get back on their feet.”
I smell BS cooking...
Left wing college professors r us.
Right! And why in the hell is FDR before George Washington?
Reagan and Johnson should both be on that list. And perhaps Nixon for opening up trade with China.
FDR was a great wartime leader, but it was the war, itself, not the New Deal, that brought us out of the Depression.
Woodrow Wilson’s ideas gave us what would eventually be the monstrosity called the UN. Not only that, but we didn’t enter WW I until Europe was already punch-drunk from fighting. Not diminishing the heroism of our soldiers, but it pales in comparison to FDR’s wartime leadership.
No way Washington is #3. It’s a coin-flip between him and Lincoln as #1. One founded the nation, the other saved it. Lincoln certainly had the more difficult circumstances, so I would give the nod to Lincoln. Washington was more than just general. He was the first and maybe only political “saint” to ever grace our shores.
I would put Reagan at #4, after FDR. As much as I dislike FDR’s social policies, he was Commander-in-Chief while we dismantled not one but TWO military superpowers AT THE SAME TIME, which would have left half the world in bondage. That’s just incredible...
