Hard to say. In my lifetime, Reagan was excellent and impressive. But I always liked Harry Truman. Though I'm more Republican, he was a plainspoken son of the midwest, who was thrust into the presidency, had to make a lot of hard decisions, and made many right ones.
Without a doubt: Harry S. Truman. Took us to a good place after the war, made tough decisions fairly and, for a change, was an honest man. I loved the McCollough biography, too.
I'm going to go with Bill Clinton. Aside from the whole Lewinsky scandal I really enjoyed the years that he was President. He really turned this country around for the better in my opinion, and I've certainly missed him in office over the last 8 years especially. He was wrong to do what he did and it was embarrassing to see a President go through what he did in 1998, but that doesn't take away from the good job he did overall.
I'd also say JFK was definitely one of the if not the best ever, and I'll also give some praise to Ronald Reagen.
hindsight being 20/20: I have to agree with your choice of Clinton as well; the late 1990's was the last time that regular working Americans saw their real wages rise.
My favorite was Ronald Reagon I like how he handled foreign policy, economics and more.
I think clinton was the worst with his appeasement to terrorists and his lowering eligability for people to get a house going to bosnia to cover up a scandal.

Reason: messed up
Possibly the most scholarly man ever to hold US presidential office, currently in his 80's still getting it done. Think Habitat For Humanity.
May I also mention he is a Nobel peace prize winner? The most under appreciated president of our times.
Also the biggest underachiever; the guy was a limp noodle. My favorite was Jackson. I thought that would spice this forum up a bit.
