Who is your favorite President of the US?
Mines FDR![]()
Woodrow Wilson ...
Not really rational, my first ever thesis written was on his points and the League of Nations, so I just like him.
That and he was a bit of a pacifist, only going to war when he had to.
Err...
Wrong forum perhaps?
Anyways, Wilson wanted to get into the war, the only problem was he had to convince the American public, which was rather easily done considering the Germans were sinking British ships that had a fair number of American civilians on board.

Well sorta, but the Zimmerman Telegram really swung it.nyways, Wilson wanted to get into the war, the only problem was he had to convince the American public, which was rather easily done considering the Germans were sinking British ships that had a fair number of American civilians on board.
As for favourite President....
Freddy Roosevelt I guess but it's close
"A man may fight for many things: his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mudwrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a stack of French porn."

To quote Gigagia, SCC:
I want to say, that I think the greatest US president ever is the great George W. Bush. He is so wonderful, I would nominate him for a third term if I had a chance.![]()
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Freddy? I've never heard of FDR being referred to as such before. Or are you talking about Teddy, Theodore Roosevelt?Originally Posted by ShadesPanther
Theodore! He's my favorite. A real socialist who put the leashes on the trusts, was one of the ealy conservationists, and yet also reaffirmed the Monroe doctrine, and set America on the road to imperialism, bigtime. We lost that later, when we stopped focusing on the idea of being a true emire, and instead propped ourselved up on the pretentious pedestal of "world peacekeeper". Teddy was also a monster of a man, figuratively speaking; he was a latter-day renaissance man, keeping active and vigorous into his later years, before his expedition into the Amazon basin shortened his life so severely.Originally Posted by AntiochusIII
The Great White Fleet, anyone?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
You obviously didn't learn much about him in that exercise then.Originally Posted by Keba
