I think Governor Joseph E Brown would be very surprised to hear that. As he repeatedly pointed out, Davis was trampling on State's Rights all the time. By 1865 the Confederacy was at least as centralised as the Union.

George H W Bush is looking and sounding like John Wayne more and more as he gets older! I would enjoy sitting down with him.

I couldn't just choose one. Lincoln for his intellect and fascinating personality. Theodore Roosevelt for all of the stories he could tell and his overall lifestyle. I'd love to go skinny dipping with Lyndon Johnson, but he'd also be pretty intimidating. Reagan would have great jokes. But maybe more than anyone else, i'd like to hang out with Richard Nixon. I would do him the courtesy of not asking him about Watergate. Instead i'd love to hear his opinion about the current state of the world and our international relations. I bet he'd have some sagely advice to give us.

And of course, William McKinley.

I'd go for a man so far not mentioned; John Quincy Adams! Stoic, troubled perhaps, but brilliant. And his wife Louisa was famous for her dinner parties so could be fun.

More modern; JFK, Carter, Clinton and Obama would all go in the hat.

Bumping this thread for (so-called) President's Day..
I'd wanna kick it with George Washington.. greatest American ever (my opinion).
Also wouldn't mind going clubbing with (early 9os) Bill Clinton.. then maybe playing a pick-up game together @ midnight basketball venue.

Franklin Roosevelt. Paralyzed from the waist down with a disability that would have crushed the spirit of most people. He was from one of the country's wealthiest families and could have just sat out his days at the family estate at Hyde Park reading and working on his stamp collection. Instead he served as the longest sitting President through America's worst economic crisis and war right to the end. What a shame he didn't live until VJ Day.

Interesting thread!

I guess I'd appreciate hanging out with any of them preferring perhaps President Lincoln.

Although I'd really like to hang out with a future US President, maybe 50 or a 100 years from now.

GW Bush and Obama. Both of them seem like cool guys to me and they have a sense of humor.
