FDR at number one is subjective, but yeah, it's probably got a lot to do with the support he gave to the UK even though many did not want him to. There's a lot of deep gratitude to FDR in that, throughout those in the UK who actually know who he is (despairs at younger population).
Te-ahem...sorry...Theodore Roosevelt should be a bit higher than five imho, mayhap he be put at three and FDR brought down under Jefferson...or perhaps the two Roosevelts should be four and five Theodore at 4 and FDR at 5. Hard to say really, but anyone who can continue a speech for an hour and a half after being shot in the chest, well, he gets my vote.

Interesting that Lyndon Johnson is higher than JFK, also interesting to see Truman so high up the list. If Europe is as socialist as many think it, I'd have thought he'd have been ranked lower.
