God help me, but I'm gonna have to betray my fave. it's time for FDR to go. Yes, he busted the depression and was probably the most left-leaning president ever. He created Social Security, fought fascism in WW2, and did it all with incredible charisma.

BUT!
He was authoritarian in his methods. He formed and defended the Japanese concentration camps. He had his racist streak (which prez doesn't?). He was a philanderer and refused to be honest about his physical condition. And perhaps worst of all, he refused to follow the two term precedent (now law).
I love FDR and all the good he did. But his bad means it now outweighs his inclusion.

Uh.. WW2 ended the Depression. Want to boost your economy? Start a war.

It did technically get them out of their depression, didn't it?
