I don’t have a favorite, so, for the purposes of this question, my choice is President Theodore Roosevelt. He didn’t just talk about doing things — he followed through on his statements with actions that led to successful results
Abraham Lincoln has fascinated me since the 5th grade when I memorized his Gettysburg address overnight for a school project. I have often imagined him sitting on that train with the piece of brown paper writing away trying to squeeze just the right words in to a befitting address for a crowd of people who needed to have the war justified in their own minds.
Thomas Jefferson…the man was simply brilliant.
