If you could choose any of our past presidents who would you choose to hold the office today?

Let's not rip apart others choices as this is based on opinion and evryone is entitled to theirs. Just put all partisan politics behind and have fun.

My choice would be FDR. The man was able to get us out of the Great Depression, keep morale high for a war and maintain the US's good name.

If the government would only use his examples of how to rebuild an economy we would be well off again.

He invested money into corporations R and D. Which jump started the industrial revolution of the 20th century and made us the greatest nation on Earth. (Of course WW2 helped but he was funding R and D's before the war and corporations like Hoover, Westinghouse, Tappan, etc. flourished)

He helped build an infrastrure, knowing that those workers would help the local economies by spending their pay at the local stores.

He also knew that if you helped out a poor man and gave him hope, that man could achieve anything. Setting up a true system where an unemployed man could live until work was found.

Found ways to get education to improve and thus allowing all men and women the best possible education in a public system.

He did whatever was necessary to improve the US and knew the greatness we had in us. He prepared the country for the future.

He never put us above anyone. He allowed the Brits and even the Soviets to take credit in WW2.

He had a great vision for the UN. Today it is nowhere near what he envisioned.
