since politics was brought up a while ago, I figure I might as well ask a hypothetical question.

If you could bring back a past president(or any past ruler of your country) to become leader again, who would you choose?(feel free to list a couple.)

for me the presidents I think id pick would be, FDR, Kennedy, Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "best leader" or "best leader style". What is best, depends on the situation. It's a bit like asking "What is the best medicine?", which obviously depends on what disease you've got.

oh yeah hitler was terrible. although ironically his scientists inhumane experimentation did help progress medicine. especially transplants.
maybe ill add an extra part. just as you can put who you would like, put who you wouldn't like.

for me some of the worse leaders were, Hitler, Mussolini, Hoover, Shaka Zulu(in his last years in power of his tribe. guy went nuts after his mother died before that he was pretty cleverl.)

ah, but I never said who was the "best" leader. the title says good. the men I listed are people I believe were good leaders. great in my opinion actually. I just want to hear what leaders people thought were good and possibly explain why.

Ronald Reagan, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Theodore Roosevelt


I like your list except FDR and Kennedy. FDR was a socialist. Most of the US social programs were founded under his "New Deal". Kennedy is not in the same league as the other remaining 4.
