The Greatest U.S. Presidents of All Time By Siege [16 more lists]
- 1
1882Hyde ParkUnited States of AmericaMale“ Had to act swiftly and decisively to pull the country from off its knees after years of economic depression and then equally firmly to prosecute the Second World War successfully. „ - 2
1809HodgenvilleUnited States of AmericaMale“ Truly great in many ways, but there are times when I wonder what would have actually happened if he had just allowed secession to occur. Surely the Confederacy would have had to move beyond slavery eventually and may we now have been in a situation where there were two sizeable countries living as friendly neighbours instead of the one there is today, but with several hundred thousand men not having been slaughtered in the meantime? How would that have worked out? We'll never know, but I do wonder from time to time. „ - 3
1732Colonial BeachUnited States of America, Kingdom of Great BritainMale - 4
1858New York CityUnited States of AmericaMale“ Dynamic and progressive it is another tantalising question to wonder what might have been had he run in 1908 instead of Taft. „ - 5
1743Albemarle CountyUnited States of AmericaMale“ His first term was so successful he could well have been at number one, but then his second ran aground somewhat. „ - 6
1856Staunton cityUnited States of AmericaMale - 7 1884LamarUnited States of AmericaMale
- 8 1890DenisonUnited States of AmericaMale
- 9 1795PinevilleUnited States of AmericaMale
- 10 1767WaxhawUnited States of AmericaMale
- 11 1735QuincyUnited States of AmericaMale“ Much maligned being sandwiched, as he was, between Washington and Jefferson, but looking at others who followed he was a far better Chief Executive than people gave him credit for at the time. „
- 12 1908StonewallUnited States of AmericaMale“ Like so many World Leaders a near impossible foreign crisis (Vietnam in Johnson's case) overshadowed and undermined much of what he otherwise achieved. „
- 13 1946HopeUnited States of AmericaMale“ Don't let the sex scandals deflect from the fact that Clinton was no fool. The world would have been a safer place today had he still been in the White House on 9/11. „
- 14 1917BrooklineUnited States of AmericaMale“ Could have turned out to be among the very greatest Presidents, but we shall never know. His actual accomplishments were fairly limited, but it was a sense of hope and a new, vibrant beginning that was lost by his assassination. „
- 15 1843NilesUnited States of AmericaMale
- 16 1758Westmoreland CountyUnited States of AmericaMale
- 17 1837CaldwellUnited States of AmericaMale
- 18 1911TampicoUnited States of AmericaMale
- 19 1924MiltonUnited States of AmericaMale“ Read my lips "No New Taxes!" (apart from the ones I didn't expect to have to announce). Otherwise a fairly competent President whose biggest mistake as far as the US Presidency is concerned was probably when he decided to become a father! „
- 20 1751Port ConwayUnited States of AmericaMale
- 21 1829FairfieldUnited States of AmericaMale
- 22 1961HonoluluUnited States of AmericaMale“ Too early to tell. Not a disaster (although following Dubya he could have invaded Canada, burned down the White House and banned television and still be rated above him) but only time will tell whether his legacy will move him higher up the list. He could have a further four and half years yet. „

- 24 1857CincinnatiUnited States of AmericaMale
- 25 1913OmahaUnited States of AmericaMale
