Who was the Greatest US President?

[puglover]

Two of our most underestimated Presidents were Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson. They both did great deeds, but they were overshadowed by the more textbook-friendly Washington and Kennedy, and that's just awful.

Washington did more than all three combined. Jackson I understand was a good president for his time, but Wilson and Kennedy are both way overrated by historians.

Washington's friends, the Freemasons, were plotting to take over the world by slowly gaing control of a country and nurturing is into a Superpower, so they could conquer their weak neighbors with a "democratic" Government lead completely by Freemasons! But, when Jackson defeated Adams II, the Freemasons slowly lost more and more control. And when Bush II is replaced, our fine nation will finally be free of the silver-lined stain that was placed upon it so many years ago!

Woodrow Wilson just did a good job, despite his lack of charisma.

Are you an elfing kidding me?

Wilson did some good things, but at the same time was a huge racist and wasn't big on civil rights, but I will admit that may have been the norm back then.

I think I scared West 36. Oops.

 

[West 36]

I think I scared West 36. Oops.

I should have clearified.
Are you elfing kidding me? (in regards to Washington, NOT Wilson)

 

[GuitarHero]

No, I'm not "elfing" kidding you. Our founding fathers were rich people with nothing to do but pursue World Domination. Thus, they fell in with the megalomanic Freemasons.

He was a product of his time. And a complete dreamer. Most of his ideas for world unity and peace were completely silly, even for the usual nonsense that came out of the brief pacifist period between WW1 and WW2.

I'd agree that Jackson was vastly underrated.

IIRC the United States made restitution to the American Indians to the tune of ten digits way back in the 1800's.

Jackson truly was a man of the people, and fearless. I particularly like how he handled his fellow South Carolinians when they started talking of secession.

I'm going to assume you're being satirical, because there's so many inconsistencies in that theory that I don't even want to start thinking about it.

Polk was also not given enough credit. He expanded the U.S. more than even Jefferson! (Texas, Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Idaho)

 

[Azale]

I have already highlighted the greatness of Polk. Or maybe I have not. I feel no need to do so, everyone should find the greatness that is James K. Polk on their own.

 

[Godwynn]

I humbly submit Grover Cleveland's name to be critiqued.

He violently suppressed strikes and did not favor women's suffrage.

He was a hard worker, incorruptible, pure, and embodied fiscal conservatism.

Lincoln, the either Washington or FDR

No! Goddwynn! I though you were on the left!

Greatest: Jefferson
Worst: Lincoln (so far).

 

[West 36]

Greatest: Jefferson
Worst: Lincoln (so far).

Futher explanation?

 

[Cutlass]

Worst 3:

Nixon
GW Bush
Reagan

Worst: Lincoln (so far).

So how is Lincoln any worse that say, harding?

If your going to say Habeas Corpas, you should read the part in the constitution that allows a president to suspend civil liberties in the case of a rebellion, which is what the situation was at the time.

 

[West 36]

Worst 3:

Nixon
GW Bush
Reagan

Well you've proven yourself as a liberal economist, so what could you say about their economic policies (and other things you want to throw in there) that made them the worst?

 

[Pannonius]

Futher explanation?

Lincoln attacked and occupied a sovereign nation (CSA).
