No FDR (tried to create a monarchy), no Kennedy (almost started WW3 with botched Cuban Missile Crisis and then gave away our strategic missiles in Turkey), no Reagan (too ideological), and definitely no Obama.

Only one I want is George HW Bush, and then only as a replacement for Teddy.

FDR, Kennedy, Reagan and Obama. Hillary should get up there to when she wins.

Locked. Per for the forum rules, The Soapbox is a place to start a thread without an article, but still needs to be something to discuss and the OP should have a post of more than just a few words to get the discussion rolling.
