I was going to say Andrew Jackson AKA "Old Hickory" simply because of his military record,leading the fight against the national bank, representing the common American and general defiance against tyranny but he was a slave owner so..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Who knows how he treated them. Its kind of hard to swallow the whole rallying for inalienable rights while owning a person.

Maybe Lincoln is a better choice simply for the fact that there was some action with protecting civil rights while protecting a fledgling union.



In my day I'd have to say Reagan simply because I think he really did love America and cared about the peace and freedom of the world. He was forced to do some stupid things by the puppet masters but he was quoted as saying he is concerned about the future of this country by internal take over. Reagan learned how our government really worked and I think it scared the crap out of him. He did what he did best and that was speak to the American people and make us feel warm and cozy.

Reagan was a natural at diplomacy he also knew when to turn it up a notch and when NOT to. He was very outspoken about the Berlin wall coming down and thats great but honestly the Soviets were doomed anyway.


I think that every president should have PHD in some sort of presidential research and training. He would have to know every presidents trials and tribulations and how they affected the people of the US and relationships with other countries. He shoul dhave to take an exam simular to the BAR. This way the position of the presidency would be inteligently evovlving and no research would be lost. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Jeez...what would would that country be like?
