If you had to pick 3 opposition Presidents who would they be?

We all clong so tightly to our political parties and bash the others so frequently I'm curious if anyone can pick 3 of their political opposition Presidents as good Presidents..

Example I'm a republican.

I will admit JFK was a brilliant man despite the bay of pigs. JFK delivered some of the most prolific speeches in US history. He steared us clear of World War 3 during the Cuban Missile crisis. He also got NASA going..

While I'm not a HUGE fan of Clinton the guy did get some decent Economic growth.

FDR i will say was a decent President but is to be determined as I have fears that social security could create major economic obstacles in the future. I also fault him for Pearl Harbor that could have and should have been prvented via an increase in patrols around Pearl Harbor. But he did get us out of the Great Depression and he did manage to lead a succsfull campaign to end WW2.

So what say you? Who you pick as your top 3 for your political oppositions party?

I'm very interested to read why not just names especially from Democrats.

    Well I'm not in a party. But say I was a Democrat, I'd pick the following three Republicans.

    1. Eisenhower: Yeah he was a bit stuffy, but he kept the New Deal going and got the ball rolling on civil rights.

    2. Dubya: Terrible politician, disaster administration. But soooooo funny!!

    3. Lincoln or Grant or someone like that. Forcing those Southerners to bend to Washington's will was a good thing.
