Well without a doubt Lincoln. He pulled America through the Civil War and steadied the Ship of State. I don't think anyone would argue that he was one of the greatest of all times. The second pick is much more up to debate. FDR is an obvious contender for keeping America stable through the depression. Jefferson is another clear candidate. I personally would pick a more contemporary president. I really like JFK, and while he had a short service, I think he took American patriotism to a whole new level. I also really like Bill Clinton because in my opinion he was one of the smartest presidents ever. It's a shame that his tremendous political career was marred by its end. What do you think though? Cheers!

...Hi speedlover1994, Let me start with apologizing for the time in getting back to you, my computer freezes and it takes me literally days to get on the net sometimes. When I answer a question here I like people to respond to me. You make so many good points, I will start with Mr. Clinton, he is by far one of the smartest men in politics, but his lack of common sense and not being able to see that his adversaries would use everything they could to bring him down just left him caught up in the middle of stuff that wasted away his time as president when he could have been doing so much good for the country. I think he is the only Rhodes Scholar he have had as president. I think Hillery will still get there and she I feel, though that shooting over the head out of the helicopter incident was a bit strange, is smarter than her husband, we'll see. Lincoln was amazing, he was smart enough to know that you use your adversaries to your best advantage and he did so. Appalling that his life was taken as it was, but his mark was huge for the country. FDR did great things as well, his length of time in office helped, as well as Mrs. Roosevelt with her service. He was a true leader who did not allow physical problems to limit his actions. Quite remarkable. Thomas Jefferson was so intelligent, his writing ability was beyond impressive. JFK struck a chord among young and old alike and had a vision for progressive goals which would propel the US into the shining light that others would look to as a true leader in the world. Another tragic loss for the country. Thanks so much for your informative comments.
Take care. Oh I would put Washington in there somewhere, just for being the first to begin such a roster of great leaders of a great country.
I have to include Obama, though the story is yet to be told, but he made history, and he too has great potential and a high level of intelligence. Now I'm gone
