2 Jimmy Carter

James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. is an American politician and author who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Carter Center. His honesty and integrity probably cost him the election of 1980. Sometimes, we would rather not know the truth and take the easy way out.
This man was told by most of his advisors he could win the election if he started a war with Iran. He said he would never do that as it's not worth the cost in money and lives.
He should be number 1. I feel like his mediocre presidency is getting in the way of people seeing the stellar character of this man. His charity is near ridding the world of guinea worm from the world (an aweful, painful water born parasite). Say what you will about his time in office, but this mans morality, and honesty cannot be questioned.
Honest man less than stellar president

He is only 54 years old and said we will protect Africa FOR MILLIONS!
He would have done better had Congress helped him rather than instructed him at every turn.
Are you kidding me..."you can keep your doctor and your health plan! "
Kind.honest.good father and husband,and wise

Not my party and didn't like everything Ike did, but when he said something you knew right where he stood.
Definitely one of the best, should be on the same level as Lincoln and Washington.

Truman was one of the most honest presidents in U.S. History. Truman at the time he was running for judge of Missouri, the Political boss at that time "Tom Prendergast" said "politics is a game of friends" and Truman responded "does that mean I'm suppose to let your friends steal $10,000?!.' Prendergast then said "is that what all this yelling is about." Truman said "Tom I don't care if it's 10,000 or 10,0000 I told you when I agreed to run I wasn't going to stand for any monkey business." Prendergast says "You will do what I tell you."

A great man. A lesser man could not have accomplished what he had to endure.
He refused to sell the White House, calming it's not mine to sell! Refused to profit from being POTUS! Wrote his wife (BESS) over 1300 letters in his own handwriting. Paid postage out of own pocket,(NOT WHITE HOUSE).
