My favorite is John F. Kennedy. He believed in the cause of the Civil Rights Movement. He was tough. He practically stopped World War III from happening during the Cuban Missile crisis.

For me, one to credit WW3 from happening would be Vasili Arkhipov.

In submarine, there were arguments among one another whether to launch nukes, but he made final decision to not launch.

I will, however, credit JFK for removing US nukes from Turkey after USSR removed nukes from Cuba.

 

I'm unsure who I would consider my favourite president but I will at least say that JFK is currently most interesting to me.

(We all know Trump will be best president)

"Speak softly and carry a big stick." - Teddy Roosevelt, one of the manliest, most badass motherfuckers in American History

I voted for Reagan. Seems like he was pretty alright.

 

The Presidents in my lifetime have all sucked. ;_;

Reagan was OK, but he also did some things that were pretty bad. He seemed fine at the time, and he was a very likable guy, but he did a lot of things that eventually had a part to play in causing the recession in the 2000's. He's not the only President that has done stuff like that. It is all economics stuff. Robert Reich made a documentary about the economy where he talks about Reagan. It's pretty interesting. That aside, the Reagan library in California as a pretty cool place if you ever get the chance to visit it.

Honestly, I have no idea, and I'm American. My default answer is usually Abraham Lincoln, with JFK and Theodore Roosevelt being close followers.

 

I do know, however, who the most badass President was. Andrew Jackson, while in one of his many duels, he took a bullet to the chest and didn't even fall down. While the other guy was reloading, Jackson took his time to aim carefully and killed the other guy. The bullet in Jackson's chest was close enough to his heart that the doctors didn't take it out of him. Also, during his funeral, his pet parrot had to be removed because it was swearing too much. Jackson may have been an asshole, but you can't argue against the fact that he was badass.

Yep he sure was.

 

A true badass

If I had to pick one, Abraham Lincoln. He was such a steadfast, encouraging, and powerful man (not just because he was President), and he held onto the faith of stopping slavery and ending the bloody Civil War.

 

I also admire John F. Kennedy in stopping Cuba's missiles and Reagan's economics in the 1980's. Both really helped the US.

Abraham Lincoln is my favourite pony president.

 

The guy had a vision and a strong sense of justice and the determination and shrewdness to see them done.

 

Plus I find him a personal inspiration; he battled depression and suffered from many many setbacks but not only survived but thrived.

 

Honourable mentions too to Roosevelts 1 and 2. Both visionary progressive presidents, both prepared to stand up for their ideals. Both overcame great personal adversities; among other things Theodore had severe childhood asthma and later was almost killed several times, and Roosevelt was paralysed from the waist-down.

 

All three were of course individuals with human flaws who were shaped by the context of their respective eras, but still, respect and credit where due.

I totally agree with you.

Well... for me its a 3 way tie between

 

Abraham Lincoln

Franklin D. Roosevelt

and John F. Kennedy

 

But if I had to choose one between the 3 it would be Franklin D. Roosevelt mainly cause he was the one who got us through the great depression and WWII. It was also his death during his fourth term that made the United States establish the 2 term law that we know today.
