Who was your favorite historical president

For me, it has to be FDR and not just because he was in office longer than any president past or future. He really stepped up to the plate at the time Americans most needed leadership and in so doing he changed the country and the world. It's hard to believe Americans didn't even have social security numbers until his presidency. Even though he made mistakes (the Japanese internments), he did incredible things, many of which we hear little of: when he extended the WPA to cover the arts, he literally saved the arts in America. Every major American writer, painter and musician of his era worked in the WPA at some point. PS: It's nice to hear somebody say something nice about Jimmy Carter for a change. People forget that Reagans's end of inflation started with Carter's appointment of Paul Volker. Also, he was a Southerner with an excellent Civil Rights record and I definitely think he (And Bill Clinton also) should be listened to when they speak up about racism.

Well, i prefer Jimmy Carter because, as you said he's a good heart and still contribuating to a more democratic world.
