This may sound really weird to you guys. But I'm just wondering who you guys think would be a better President if they were alive today? George Washington or Abraham Lincoln? Let me know what you think...  |

I think both would be thoroughly depressed by what modern America has become. They would be unable to perform their duties.

Jefferson would be crushed by the 24-7 media networks though  coming up on HARDBALL..."Did TJ sleep with a slave?" Matthews made his career on the Lewinsky thing, he would have a field day with this |

I think Franklin D. Roosevelt would provide the leadership needed during times like these. Washington and Lincoln were fine presidents, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Roosevelt.

He relied less on government intervention than did his cousin.

If you mean the FDR of his first term, I completely agree with you. After that he became a tool of international high finance. OswaldTheOsprey |
