Pick 7 of the 44 Presidents who served these United States of America.
Don't think about popularity. Don't think about politics too much.
Weigh carefully, which 7 of these 44 did the most to help his country
in a positive way that improved the American ideals you hold most dear.
Which would you most want to lead the country today ?

1. Lincoln
2. FDR
3. LBJ
4. James Polk
5. TR

3. Obama
4. TR
5. Wilson
6. Lincoln
7. Truman

I'm so happy to see that others voted for Eisenhower! He's often forgotten in casual conversation when we talk about great presidents of the 20th century.
