I think you're on to something there.  I don't think any of them really have the people's well-being in mind.  They just campaign on a few hot-button issues that they know will bring the party loyalists to the polls.   They are all owned by big corporations and do their bidding, as well as that of other large special-interest contributors.  Some also want to help those less fortunate, while others give welfare to the very rich.  Take your pick.

So basically, you're saying that the last great President was George Washington, since he didn't even want the job but was willing to do it for his country?  From that perspective, you're right!  George Washington would be hard to top!

I have no business in another country's politics but.....How could there be a "good" President, they are/were all politicians.

Don't see what being an actor should have to do with it; He still did a lot better than some, when you consider the background, education and professions of a lot of them.....and I SHOULD have titled it "Last good President, imho"..... no offence was implied. :)

. . . and none was taken.  We all have our opinions.   :)

Last "good President" that's a concept that would be quite an interesting argument. It all depends on what the people you ask want. I would have to say, that for about 47% of the people right now, the current one is the best...for the rest of us, the other 53%...or more depending on which poll you read, probably Ronald Reagan....As far as FDR goes, the only differences between him and the current regime are that he couldn't play golf, and he was white..otherwise, they are pretty much the same...progressive tax and spend, give away to the least capable...Hang on there, are we getting political????

Agreed ^

I think George Washington was the best because he charged the least tax.

I would much rather have the actor Ronald Reagan as President that the present one trying to act like a President.....am I going to get the bum's rush for starting a political discussion? ;D

Like Hitler, he was a master of media.  Seriously, a movie actor becomes President?

I would say opinions vary quite a bit on the last great President.  I would say FDR tops them all.
