Lincoln for the anti-slavery efforts, FDR for the domestic post-depresson policies and WW2 handling, Nixon (yes, really) for more intelligent handling of the Cold War than most other modern presidents. Clinton for better international relations than most other modern presidents.

Despite what most 'baby boomer' Americans probably think, I reckon Kennedy was one of the worst.

Thomas Jefferson: When President John F. Kennedy welcomed forty-nine Nobel Prize winners to the White House in 1962 he said, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent and of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.

John Adams: Jefferson called him the "Colossus of Independence".

Both died on July 4, 1826.

Andrew Johnson: For bringing the country back from the strife of civil war.

Theodore Roosevelt: For his indomitable spirit for what the US could be.

Ronald Reagan: For his indomitable spirit for what the US could be.
