I think the better question is which presidents have had enough character to be considered great.

I'd say Reagan was our last great president with fine character.

No one is perfect (Reagan was not perfect), but good character brings out greatness.

Reagan was a great president..no doubt about it.

But his greatness was not recognized by most until many years later. Believe me, I was around for his administration, and he didn’t have loads of praise heaped on him. Even he compromised his beliefs.

Character should be the most important single qualification for choosing a President.

More than anything else, we need to trust our leaders.

If you have any qualms whatsoever about trusting a person to lead the country and our troops in a war, they shouldn't be President.
