re: #604 chadu

Personal faves (not necessarily the “best” Presidents):
#1. John Adams/TR (tied)
#2. Abe Lincoln
#3. Harry Truman
#4. Barack Obama (tentative)

I’d have to say my favorites are
1) TR (even though his mishandling of Japan set us on the course to WWII).
2) Lincoln
3) FDR
4) Ike
5) Jefferson (he was a better president than person… )

Obama is about 5 or 6 down from there for me but he’s still the best since Ike.
