(Sorry, Juan. But you still have an opinion on this, right?)

George Washington.

There are a lot of sketchy things about Lincoln that people like to overlook. I'm not sure what they are, but I heard from a credible source that they exist.

Wow. That's a tough one...Father of our country versus Preserver of our country.

If you really think about it, Lincoln was a one-hit wonder...he was some second-rate state legislator that ended up being a damn great president, but that's all.

Washington, on the other hand: General, Philosopher, Farmer, President, AND he set the two-term precedent when he could have been King of the US? Man, I just talked myself into Washington.

And on a related note...did you know that there is a virulent anti-Lincoln movement? They have conventions and publish papers like, "Lincoln's Spectacular Lie" and "Senator Palpatine, Meet President Lincoln." Check it out here: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig2/lincoln-arch.html

George Washington


He's got a brain for his heart... you can't beat that.

Weren't they both like 7 feet tall?

I'm with Alex on this one- Father or Preserver? That is a dangerous dilemma.

I would have to say G.W. He could've been KING. I went to Mt. Vernon a few months back and visited the museum. I saw his teeth. It takes a really strong man to be able to wear dentures like those.

So, Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln is my answer. I don't really know about US political history, but if I asume that a president is killed by the bad guys... therefore he was one of the good guys, right? Washington may have been a even better president or person than Lincoln, but not a big enough pain in the but, for the bad guys, to take him out. And in MY opinion, bad guys NEVER fail.

The answer: George Washington

Definitely NOT Kennedy. Come on Hugh and Laura!!! Are you serious!?! As my hero, Karl Rove, once said: "You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm entitled to the facts."

Alex, I couldn't quite tell what your answer was. Was it Washington?
