Too many to mention and no real standout. Maybe FDR - after the great depression, Lincoln - president during our darkest hours, Eisenhower - fantastic post war economic expansion in the 50s. Many of the founding fathers.

Don't know how much these guys had to do with the results of the times. But with the exception of the founding fathers, I think the great experiment of American democracy has lasted this long mostly in spite of our leaders and not because of them.
