William T. Sherman was surprisingly the first man to come to my mind... not necessarily my favorite, but he's up there

No, a guy who held power benevolently, and relinquished it when it was time. There's an old adage about those who most deserve power are those who do not seek it, and Cincinnatus is iconic of that.
Yeah, but he also did the Coriolanus thing and kept a law from being passed that would have made the same laws apply to both plebeians and patricians.

Jackson was such an ass**** though that perhaps is why you are right. I can't imagine us ever getting a more Bad-Ass president then him.
I think I find myself liking Ashoka the Great of India and William Wilberforce more then anyone else I can think of. Ashoka, from what I read of him, it's just something I never would have thought was possible. You see guys turn around like that in movies, but all seems fake, like something that could never happen in real life. And honestly, When I heard 'bout Wilberfoce's Victory, maybe it was the special I was watching about him, but it actually did make me cry >_>

Yes, I know that, but I personally believe that Gustavus was the greatest King in Swedish history, combine that with the fact that he died in battle and was rumored to enter battle bare-chested...
The greatest of the Swedish ass kickers
