Seems to me that one of the jobs of president is to be able to speak to the people, to power around the world, and to posterity. The best American presidents have been able to do this. It is not the only job, to be sure, but an important dimension, IMO. Do you agree?
Ok, in my opinion, and off the top of my head, here are the greatest statesmen to have sat in the Oval Office:
1. Abraham Lincoln
2. Thomas Jefferson
3. Theodore Roosevelt
4. Franklin D. Roosevelt
5. John F. Kennedy
6. George Washington
7. TIE: Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan
8. Bill Clinton
9. Andrew Jackson
10. James Madison
