Franklin Roosevelt.
A great leader who inspired his country's citizens to understand what is needed to overcome adversity.
Served more time as president than any other man in the history of this nation because people loved him and believed in him.
Liberal Democrats could take a lesson from this genius leader.

Franklin Roosevelt also forged a domestic political revolution on several fronts. In politics, FDR and the Democratic Party built a power base which carried the party to electoral, if not ideological, dominance until the late 1960s. In governance, FDRs policies, especially those comprising the New Deal, helped redefine and strengthen both the American state and, specifically, the American presidency, expanding the political, administrative, and constitutional powers of the office.
Good lesson indeed.

In my lifetime; Reagan with our current President Bush a close second "only because of the Islamic war issue".
Overall, I'd have to go with Lincoln. Lincoln may not have been the smartest or have done the most in social manners or foreign affairs, but Lincoln manipulated a lot of law and reasoning to force the United States to remain the "united" States.Government is a disease......masquerading as its own cureEcclesiastes 10:2 NIV

I'll tell you who would make the bottom of the list.....
"Dubya" and not as in Washington.
Reagan's the best I've seen.....If everything was always done "by the book"....the book would never change.
