Thanks, although I thought you'd comment on the "finest hour."

Truman, hands down, for the Marshall Plan. Honorable mention for Johnson (domestic policies, particularly civil rights) and Nixon (environment and China).

That was good too. I started this thread with you in mind BTW and definitely the JFK/Bush belligerency comment was for your eyes. lol. ;-)

Big fan of Truman and he shaped the post World War II presidency more than anyone. One of my favorites. All hands down here.

Nixon disgraced the office but he certainly had some fine moments. (with apologies to Vick ;-) )

Johnson created the social policies that have made this country much greater and we should all thank him for that. Too bad about Viet Nam.

I really liked Kennedy too.

And Reagan.

My favorite 20th century presidents then:

1. Roosevelt
2. Truman
3. JFK
4. Reagan

I like Ike too. And After that Wilson and Teddy.

Before that

1. Madison
2. Jefferson
3. Lincoln
