Top Ten Best American Politicians
Thank you so much for the support on my other list: Worst American Politicians!The Top Ten
1 Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American lawyer and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War and succeeded in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, bolstering the federal government, and modernizing the U.S. economy.
He married Mary Todd and they had four boys, only one of whom lived to maturity. In 1858 Lincoln ran against Stephen A. Douglas for Senator. He lost the election, but in debating with Douglas he gained a national reputation that won him the Republican nomination for President in 1860.

Number one on this despicable, asinine list. These, with the exception of Obama and Teddy Roosevelt, Lincoln and Washington and Kennedy are among the worst, most inept and incompetent, politicians. Yech!
Obama did absolutely nothing for America. He wasted money, depleated our military, ruined the economy, and apologized for America. He was by no means a strong leader, and I'm glad he is no longer president.
Obama does not deserve this list.
