    Thomas Edison was a complete scumbag who set science back decades.

    Lincoln

    Lincoln didn't do anything important outside the US (that I know of).

    both of the Roosevelts.

    The only thing I know about the first Roosevelt is that he liked saying "Bully" as a synonym for "Cool".

    I think our Richard Bennett copied FDR's Depression-fighting strategy, but didn't get to implement it because William Lyon Mackenzie King got elected in 1935.

    Seriously, you can't expect foreigners to know your presidents who specialized in internal affairs.

      Franklin was an inventor and scientist...

      and a statesman...

      and a philosopher...

      and an entreprenuer...

      He combined the best qualities of all of us.

        Basically people just didn't give an f about the poll so they voted for the funniest candidate.

          St. Leo, Teddy Roosevelt is not best known for his "internal affairs" (even if he did set up our national park system).

          He brought Realpolitic to the United States.

            Come to think of it -- are you saying FDR, who was president during WWII, specialized in "interal affairs"?

              Where's the Thomas Paine option???

              In his absence, I voted for MLKJr.

              Runners up: Jefferson, FDR, Lincoln.

                As much as I like Thomas Paine, I wouldn't put him in a poll like this. He was a little too good with a poison pen.

                  But Paine was such a crabby bastard, without being too evil (like Ford), which is what makes him so damn likeable. (CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT ALERT) And I mean, arguably, America wouldn't even exist without Paine. Washington's all well and good, but you don't get anywhere with the peasants without 'Common Sense'.

                    I agree Jefferson was the best, but, since I'm related to Andrew I'm going to have to vote with the family.

                              Cept for all that drinking and womanizing...
