For me its a tie between Teddy Roosevelt and George Washington. My idea of the worst president is also a tie between William Clinton and Andrew Johnson. I wanted to say Obama is the worst but the book is still open. Still he is filling it fast.

They always get good press, and a lot of it. Madison is the "Father of the Constitution" and Henry was the fiery orator. It's only in the past few years that John Adams, his impact and his very full, well lived life has been fully fleshed out before the Americans. All in thanks to David McCullough and that miniseries.

I dunno. it could be because his second cousin was sam adams, and he later went on to become a beer. I personally think that adams always got plenty of props. I mean, if you ask the average person who the father of the constitution is, they won't know. if you ask the average person, who said, "give me liberty, or give me death." they wouldn't know. madison seems really underrated.

Ronald Regan. No doubt about it.

He took control after that wimp Carter almost destroyed the country and made the world respect us again.
Those who didn't respect us, feared us again.
