    A random question... I'm just curious.
    Mine is Barack Obama even though he is not president yet, he seems like a cool person to be around.

    Calvin Coolidge or Grover Cleveland.

    However, with a few exceptions, this is like trying to pick the best of the worst.

    Andrew Jackson and George Washington deserve honorable mentions. I suppose you can include Thomas Jefferson as well, although his star has waned for me somewhat.

    Jackson disregarded the supreme court and lead the world in civil rights abuse with the Indian removal Act.

    Jackson also closed the Second American Central Bank, striking a major blow against the statists for liberty and sound money. He put his life on the line for that one.

    Don't have one. High hopes for Reagan, but I was a child and teenager during his time, plus he was totally corrupted by Bush 41 as his VP.

    JFK, and not for his economic policies but for the fact that he dared to challenge the elite(he lost that battle but at least he tried).

    Boo on JFK for for the imperial militarism, but kudos for trying to bring back metal certificates, and negotiating with the Soviets to avoid war. Shame Bush is not a student of history.

    Hopechange huh?
    Coolidge had his chance at a third term and declined it. Nowadays one can't get reelected after two. Which sorta throws a wrench in Cleveland '08 as well.

    Y'know, if they weren't already dead. I think that throws quite a large wrench itself.

    Well, with my initial post, we're in the same geography - does that count?:D

    If we're talking same gender, well, Boadicea was right up there, in my book.

    Eisenhower interstate road system is probably the greatest economic decision ever made by a President. The interstate facilitates private and commercial transportation. The interstate system benefits the economy to this day.

    Reagan was the best President in my lifetime. The economy was a train wreck when he took office.
