All Star U.S Presidential Elections

With the U.S. presidential elections coming up and no one really getting exited about the contendors. Here's a fake election between who are consirdered to be the best U.S. presidents.

For me its Lincoln since I consider him to be the greatest U.S. president. To bad he'll forever be assoiated with the Republican party. Teddy's a close second though

Damn it your making me pick which Roosevelt I like more. Fuck you man.
Also George Washington wasn't in a political party.

He may not have been officially aligned with one but his views definately where Federalist-leaning and also I'd hate to see John Adams get crushed.

Adams was cool, to bad everyone back the hated him . Dammit I want to change my vote but I don't know how.

Not the best idea to begin with.

Every president fits with the time that they existed... or didn't.
Some had perfectly valid ideas on things like the economy, but were unfortunate enough to bump into something that their planning was never meant to encompass.
Beyond just the economy, many presidents had what are now outdated or extremely controvertial ideas in their time.

Take George Washington. When he left the presidency behind, he cautioned the US against politcal parties and involving the US in foreign affairs, both of which he believed would be the death the US.
Obviously, these are largely considered outdated ideas. The US has two major political parties which are invested in ever facit of US life. The US is also the most active in the international community. George Washington would probably be appalled at how the US has turned out.

Other presidents were too wrapped up in crisises of their time to really pay as much attention to long-term planning. Thus, we don't have a clear picture of what they would do.

Either way, I cannot think of a US president that has come and gone that had a policy in... anything... that would help the US now. They would just struggle to keep up with the times.
Even if they are good in some ways, it would come down to "the best of the obsolete".

Hmm. I say Theodore Rosovelt because America could of certainly made South America and Central America there bitches.

theodore roosevelt because he is the most badass president we have ever had. Anyone who can give a speech with a bullet in his chest gets major browney points even if he was a good for nothing imperialist

I picked Mr. Lincoln, he was our greatest president ever(in my opinion) and without him, there would be the CSA and the USA, instead of just the USA. Not good.

I picked Lincoln but I agree with what Imperial is talking about.

I picked Lincoln. I hope my answer changes in 4 years, but whatever. Honorable mention goes to Reagan & Jefferson.

I get Reagan, but why Jefferson?

He did get us the Louisiana Purchase, so that's pretty good.

and thats about it

True, lol.

Louisiana Purchase, tons of inventions, founder, handled Napoleonic Wars with ease, etc...

almost caused the North to declare their succession

Though I don't know if we should include what he did before he was president in his resume.

Louisiana Purchase: France sold it, Jefferson was just acting on it.
tons of inventions: okay
founder:???
handled Napoleonic Wars with ease: France is awesome bitches, who wouldn't side with France?

It was so much harder than picking a side. If he just flat out said "I like France" a big British Army would have been on the US's doorstep.

Also France lost... real awesome.

Only after kicking every bodies ass. Well, accept for Russia, but nobody beats a Russian winter. Accept for the mongols.
