I believe that it is a very hard thing to create something new so my vote is for George Washington. He was the utter "indispensable man" for this time and place and the imprint he left on the job of President is self-evident 200+ years later. When you have the Monarch, George III, whom he revolted against, specifying him as the "Greatest Man" when he voluntarily gave up all power after the end of the Revolution, (and again after his 2nd Presidential term when all around him wanted him to remain) you truly have the measure of the man! If asked to rank the top 5 I would leave out Reagan as he is still too close in history for me and then go 2) Lincoln; 3) Jefferson; 4) Theodore Roosevelt and then 5) Franklin Roosevelt. Lincoln is utterly obvious. Jefferson for what he did prior to the presidency and the Louisiana Purchase that allowed the USofA to be more than an Atlantic Ocean country. TR comes next because he re-oriented the USofA from an isolationistic, internally oriented nation into a nascent world power. Finally, FDR for as much as I dislike many of his policies and growth of the government, because even with those detriments he 'may' have saved us from a far worse world in both his guidance in WW2 and by the sheer effect of serving 3 full terms.
Top 5 would be easier, to be sure. But tough choices can sometimes make people think more completely about a subject, I find. And, yes, incredibly subjective. My interest is in seeing how much of a popularity contest this becomes (hence the votes for G.W. Bush).
Wow this is really a subjective question. I truly believe that Thomas Jeffeson by virtue of his contributions to the Founding of this Country and the acheivements of his Presidency is one of our great Presidents.
Also I think in my lifetime and recent history Ronald Reagan ranks up there also.
Tough choices, might be better if we have a top five of all time.
