why would anyone other than a history major have enough knowledge or interest to elect a 'favourite president' from before their life, on any real factual basis or intelligent reasoning? seems a little arbitrary to me. favourite president based on what... high school classes and wikipedia? what a great judge of character and policy!

Washington or Eisenhower.

Washington set the standard and relinquished power after 8 years. He genuinely wanted good things for the nation and wasn't just about power.
Eisenhower managed pretty well. He wasn't extremely partisan. He tried to govern from the center and do reasonable things.

and yea, Lincoln.

You've highlighted the only reason to admire Washington (true it was very noble of him). He was actually, for the most part, a terrible leader.

lol.. I know you're kidding. But for those who don't know. He is the one who demanded that he be allowed to give his entire (of an hour) inauguration speech outside, amidst extremely cold temps. He died of pneumonia in office after serving one month.

He gave the longest inauguration speech in history I think it was three hours long. This in a driving rain and he refused to wear a coat or a hat.

They sure try pretty damn hard to thwart it though. I wonder how many millions are spent every year keeping the President protected and healthy

If a President tried that today he'd have his twenty wet nurses whispering in his ear what a horrible idea it is.

From what I have read he was advised against it. He was an egotistical fella.

Nixon wanted to deliver a very long speech when we were on the moon and he was talking to the Astronauts. However, he actually listened and ceded to a brief communication. Good thing since the Apollo program was inherited.

Well, he had a decent military mind, but his political skill wasn't exactly at the requisite level.
