Is there an American (or other) president you admire? Tell us about it. Please do not diss or run down other people’s choices, even if you bear vitriolic hatred for them. Just post someone you think is better and tell us why that’s so. History and politics aren’t my strong suit to I don’t have anything brilliant myself. Although Lincoln is an obvious choice, I kind of lean toward Teddy Roosevelt, because of the national park system.
