HAPPY PRESIDENTS' DAY

In honor of everyone's favorite holiday, here's my top 5 favorite presidents:

#5

Lyndon B. Johnson

It's not so much that I'm a huge fan of his accomplishments or his policies or anything like that, but any man who isn't afraid to pick his nose on television is okay in my book.


#4

Theodore Roosevelt

"Speak softly and carry a big stick." That's all anyone needs to say about Teddy.


#3

Abraham Lincoln

Abe undoubtedly had the most difficult task of any president. The fact that he kept the nation together and was able to free the slaves in the process ranks him pretty high on my list.


#2

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Polio. The Great Depression. World War II. I mean, the man was elected for four terms despite all of these things and then some. George W. wouldn't have lasted a day.




#1

George Washington

One of the great American heroes of all time. A general, a patriot, a politician, and a president. Plus, he was able to keep the federalists and anti-federalists from killing each other while he was in office, which is more than we can say about Thomas Jefferson.
