The best President of the last century?

Simple enough question, who in the last century has been the best US President. I said the last century, but lets make the cutoff date the year 1900. In between then and now who in your opinion has been the best, and why? Teddy Roosevelt? FDR? JFK? Nixon? Reagan?

Obama

JFK/Reagan

FDR

He didn't ask who the worst President of all-time was did he? So why u picked Obama's muslim race-baiting divisive joke ass is beyond me.

Getting serious now instead of nonsense like u just posted, Bardock, it's like TI said. Either JFK or Reagan. I lean towards Reagan, obviously, for the simple fact he was a Republican. Republicans are just inherently superior to democrats. So Reagan gets my vote. 👆

Carter with a nod to Obama

-One of the more honest/open Presidents
-Tried to clean up Washington
-Handled a shit economy well (70's energy crisis)

Carter's bretty gud. Eisenhower was based, BASED. Also,

Spoiler:
Nixon.

Depends on how you look at it. A strong argument could be made for, say, Lyndon B. Johnson, considering the happenings during his term and the legislation he presided over (though some would argue that has more to do with Kennedy's legacy than Johnson's political leanings).

That said I'd agree with OV on FDR though.

Nixon would win the "most underrated president" pretty handily.

No love for Bush Sr?

Obama?😂

For those who chose Obama what would your choice be if we limited this to presidents who currently aren't in office right now?

carter is one of the best post presidents. His in office policies were horrible.

Curious to know what in particular makes people like JFK so much. I have nothing against him, but I get "Che Guevera" vibes from him in the sense that his popularity seems more like a meme rather than an approval of specific policies he instated/pursued.

He was one the greatest man to ever live.

Okay.

Saying "Last Century" implies 20th century right? SO that would exclude both Bush and Obama.

I vote for Taft. Cause he was fat and got stuck in a tub.

No wait. He was 19th....So I will go Nixon.
