Who is Your Favorite President?
In the spirit of President's Day, I'm on Mountain Time, who is your favorite all-time president?
My vote would have to go to the People's Champ, Thomas Jefferson. I don't really know if he was that cool of a president, but Jefferson was an amazing thinker whose ideas were pretty revolutionary for the time.
One knock against Jefferson is his status as a slave-owner, but that's like ripping on a 17th century noblemen for marrying his cousin.
Also, he did sort of illegally buy Louisiana, but it's tough to complain about the end result unless you're Chief Sitting Bull.
I think if you were going to start a poll it would be more fair to divide the presidents by eras. Clinton would be my favorite recent president but only because I really hate all the other ones.
