It depends on what country your talking about, but Island's current one, Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, has such a funny name I have to pick him... XD

Teddy Roosevelt was an imperialist and a racist. I don't see why people are so in love with him.

Teddy Roosevelt fucked slaves. He was not a racist.

Teddy Roosevelt ****ed slaves. He was not a racist.

That doesn't mean that slavery wasn't still going on.

Nevermind, I was thinking of Thomas Jefferson. lol sorry.

well jefferson was an abolitionists(though he possesed lots of slaves), but the abolition of slavery was a thing done by abe lincoln.

As a non-american I don't know much american presidents, supposing the question is about them it'll be JFK (for most known)

I like Lincoln myself, being too lazy to think of another.

Well in half the country...the half that didn't support HIM...

Teddy Roosevelt was an imperialist and a racist. I don't see why people are so in love with him.

The US isn't and wasn't a direct democracy. Why should he have listened to the wishes of the Southern masses?

actually bluesbros Lincoln didn't want to free slaves. He wanted to keep slavery the way it was, however the southerners thought he wanted to take their slaves. Because of this they seceded. Not long after THEY attacked a US fort and started the United States Civil War with "The Shot heard 'round the world".

Sooo ya, his motivation wasn't to punish. The country was attacked and without war the country would be divided and/or still have slavery today.

So I say good motivation.

I'm the agnostic socialist liberal; your worst nightmare!

Because it decreases government funding making debt more likely and reducing government programs, grants, etc.

And I'm the agnostic capitalist conservative!

You have no idea the trillions we spend on useless junk, do you?
