As far as who was the best President, I think there is a tie. One is Abraham Lincoln. He kept this country together after the Civil War, arguably the toughest time period in American history. The other is Franklin Roosevelt. Not only did he lead us through the Great Depression with innovative reforms and programs but he was the Commander in Chief through all but the last four months of World War Two.

However, my personal favorite is Teddy Roosevelt.
You kids need a history lesson.

While I do not disagree about his supremacy, Lincoln did not survive to see the end of the War Between the States.

FDR was a socialist and is responsible for much of what is wrong with this country today.

Teddy Roosevelt is a personal favorite of mine as well.
