Since we just had a presidents day, please share with me your favorite president.

I'm going to say FDR - yea he sucks when it came to those Japanese-American camps but you can't overlook how he was able to bring a country out of depression and through 2 world wars (even tho he died during the second one)

The New Deal was one of the most important, and successful, efforts of any President. Too bad we moved beyond it. Can't get past some of his policies though. Internment camps being at the top of the list.
I'm going with Obama. When I think what he could have accomplished without half the population being fed lies, and the worst performing Congress in history, it makes me sick.

@Ynotisay Some of those programs in the New deal is still available today ... yea..but those internment camps is a complete eyesore in American history.

@JarJarBoom True. There are some carry overs.
Not sure if you've ever visited Manzanar, the internment camp in California that's now a National Historic Site, but if you get a chance...
The Japanese AMERICANS resilience and strength was my big takeaway. A very powerful experience. I walked in feeling like shit and walked out feeling admiration.
