Last great president? I agree, FDR, though a strong case could be made for Ike. I also think Nixon could have been great, but his paranoia, corruption, and alcoholism prevented it.
I think the list of great presidents looks like this:
Washington
Jefferson
Jackson
Lincoln
Teddy Roosevelt
FDR
Then there are guys right on the edge, and a case could be made: Ike, Polk, Truman, Wilson.
