George Washington.

George Washington was not only the first president but also an accomplished general. Against daunting odds, Washington launched a guerrilla war that lasted for six years and ultimately drove the British from the colonies. At many points during the conflict, the army was close to disintegrating. But through Washington's force of leadership, the colonists succeeded and he established a model for future American military leaders to follow.
Leadership Attributes:

General Washington was known for his cautious, measured, and highly successful generalship. Understanding that conventional war against the British was useless, he waged a well-planned guerilla campaign. He was also skilled in diplomacy, both as a politician and in his military career. He elicited French help in forcing the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. Also, he deftly negotiated the relations between military and civilian authority. Personally, the first President was reserved. But he won the love and respects of his troops — and nation.

I was debating between Georgy boy and Andrew Jackson. . . .I choose Andrew Jackson.

But George Washington is a fucking absolute stud, and is THE greatest American to ever live!

Best US president BY FAR, not even a question!

Funny, my first name is actually Andrew.

George Washington was the ONLY president to get every electoral college vote. But then again, we only had 13 states at the time. Still admire him for his humbleness and for being pretty moderate. I mean, he didn't pursue a higher position after the Revolutionary War, served only two terms because he thought he would appear to be a "king" and willingly gave up his positions. I was pleasantly surprised when I got Washington as the result.

William Tecumseh Sherman

Biography:
William Tecumseh Sherman was one of the most controversial and successful Union generals during the Civil War. He performed well at Shiloh, Vicksburg, and the siege of Chattanooga. He captured Atlanta in one of the Civil War's most decisive campaigns. He advocated the concept of "total war" — waging war not just on the enemy's forces but on the enemy's support network. In this, he was the first modern general. He demonstrated this in his famous "March to the Sea," where his troops cut a swath of destruction through Georgia.

Leadership Attributes:
Sherman was tenacious in battle, and served with Ulysses S Grant in his campaigns — including the siege of Vicksburg, where his tenacity payed off. Sherman led by initiative as much as by planning. During his "March to the Sea," he was cut off from supply lines and his troops lived off the land. Sherman was a soldier, not a diplomat. In fact, after the war, when his name was bandied about for a nomination, he said, "If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."

Wesley Clark for me.

Just call me Omar Bradley
