Favorite President and Why:

Jefferson - doubled territory, ran surpluses, kept us at peace.
Polk - Expanded smartly, using an easy-to-win war; stayed out of major war with Gt Britain.
Coolidge - returned government to frugality while keeping out of Roaring 20s business.
Eisenhower - reduced military nearly 90%, made good int'l alliances, ended Korean war.
Reagan - fired Patco strikers, brought an end to Soviet Union by supporting Solidarity, quietly supporting the Mujahadeen, walking away from Arms reduction, building up defense and pressing on anti-missile defense. Freed 300 million Europeans in the process. Oh yeah, and he cut taxes from 70% to 28%.
