Just a bit of curiosity of who everybody's favorite president from the history of the US is. Obviously this is aimed at US citizens, but even if you're not from here and you happen to like on of our old guys, go ahead and give us your input.
My personal favorites are(in no particular order)
Washington(duh)
Teddy Roosevelt
Lincoln
Reagan
Bush 43(controversial, I know)
and to some extent, FDR(for his ability to bring america together, more than his economic policies)

JFK. No contest there. We want something better, so damn you all, we're going to have something better, because we are the best.
Lincoln. Balls-to-the-walls confidence and nothing but soft-spoken grit to back it up.
Washington. See above.
Clinton. Not nearly as epic as the above three, but props to the guy who knows what "in the red" means.

Teddy Roosevelt. Any man who can get shot in the middle of a speech, finish giving it, and then calmly seek medical attention, only to end up carrying the bullet to his grave has the kind of balls I like to see in a leader.
FDR. Tough as nails for different reasons.
Abraham Lincoln: He had balls, and spoke softly about it. Conviction drove his actions, not zeal. And by God he made change happen without breaking the nation.
Bill Clinton: He had balls too. The balls to tell us he was full of :censor: from the get-go. And the balls to help patch the country up a little bit in spite of hummers.
