Best and or favorite president

[sunmaiden]

So far FDR takes the cake!

Although I must say Lincoln did that whole abolition thing...but how does that stand to the supreme poweress of W?

I like Carter best. And Roosevelt, although he was secretly evil in some ways. mainly with WW2, the atomic bomb, jews, and all that.

I thought they were all secretly evil...or is THAT a lie?
BTW Amber, you stole my cat (the tuxedo cat)
What's wrong with you? Stealing everybody's kitties!

No, you're right, most are secretly evil. To me, Jimmy C. may be the exception. which, of course, made him a bad politician.
and, no, i didn't steal your cat. But if yours is like mine? You are very lucky, indeed. Best. Cat. Ever.!

Don't forget Ford. I hate Republicans with a passion, but Ford was a genuine and sincere man, whatever his politics may be. And he's quite the lefty when compared to some of the loons running the show now.

You know, I think you might be right. I don't know a lot about Ford *Cancer* but it strikes me that you are correct.

I love Ford because he didn't lie, he had no agenda, and he truly wanted to make this country a better place for all. However misguided he may ahve been at certain points (pardoning Nixon), his heart was in the right place and he never wanted to be filthy like most Republicans. And he didn't crave power. Same with Carter. I love both of them.

But Lincoln never ever set out to abolish slavery. In fact at the beginning of the war he was a racist. As the war grew on, he changed a little, but he never cared one bit about blacks. The Emancapation Proclation in 1863 was purely a war strategy.

Not only that, but he allowed the rich to buy their children out of the war and he saw the influx of staving Irish as the way to fight it. He also knew the South's economy and the mouth of the Mississippi in Louisiana were vital to the U.S. - thus it could not be lost. If it had been an area with no taxable economy, I think Lincoln would have said SEEE YAAAAAA
