Ranking World Leaders - Round 2: Merica

It's pretty simple. You get 3 votes to pick the best of 20th and 21st centuries.

The next round is the one everyone has been waiting for, so we will get right to it. Let's do United States of America!!!

Anyone who votes Woodrow Wilson is a troll. Everyone gets a prize.

Found the troll part! Do I win a prize?

More wasted cyber-space of a thread.

It was a challenge to pick only 3. Paul Deschanel is definitely the best choice but the second and third are most difficult.
Doumerge, the Freemason; Doumer, the only guy with enough balls to die while in office; Petain, the only legitimate president; de Galle with his famous "246 types of cheese" remark...

Pretty disapointed you didn t include Félix Faure who died in office by heart attack while a prostitute was performing the best BJ ever.

Also it's Nicolas not Nicholas Sarkozy. He's french not anglo saxon !

He died before the 20th century. If we opened it up to all time, Charelesmagne (best former king of France) and Elvis Presley (greatest living musician and future king of france) would win, hands down.

Depends what you mean by best. For example, waauw would probably love Hollande for his creeping fascism, whereas betiko would probably prefer Sarkozy for being up to his nuts in Carla Bruni.

Myself I like Petain, for his comical surname.

I'm a liberal, ergo I'm against Hollande.

Why was Jerry Lewis excluded from the poll?

No Trump option?

I voted Taft!, Eisenhower, (pre-Watergate) Nixon, in that order.

Fun Taft fact 1 - Taft was the first U.S. president to meet a Mexican president, in 1909, in El Paso, Texas - as mentioned in the opening to Sicario, he took 4,000 bodyguards with him.

Fun Taft fact 2 - Taft was the only U.S. since Thomas Jefferson whose inaugural parade wasn't led by the U.S. Marine Band; Taft instead chose the Philippine Constabulary Band to lead his parade as it had received the moniker "Taft's Own" when he was Governor-General of the Philippines.

Fun Taft fact 3 - Taft's bathtub was so large that four men could comfortably fit in it.
