(I got what she got in case anyone couldn't tell <g>.)

"Thomas Jefferson was an idealist whose foreign policy was based on a moral tone. He supported France, which he saw a enlightened and just, against England, which he viewed as corrupt. His domestic policy was equally idealistic. He opposed Alexander Hamilton's plan to create a Federal banking system, and came to regard the consolidation of power at the federal level as a diabolical plot to subvert the true meaning of the American Revolution."

mhhh....

David Ben Gurion, with a side order on George Washington. I guess I can live with that.

The military leadership test spewed me out as Teddy Roosevelt. That surprised me somewhat.

Same here...
"Biography:

David Ben-Gurion was the founding father of the state of Israel, its most important leader, and first Prime Minister. Born in Poland, Ben-Gurion became attracted by the ideals of the Zionist movement and emigrated to Palestine in 1906 to work toward establishing a Jewish state. He became involved in politics and military affairs, and he rose to become the leader of the Labor Party in 1930. When Israel was founded, it was Ben-Gurion who declared it to the world. After Israel's founding, he led the Labor Party to electoral victory.

Leadership Attributes:

Like many Zionists, David Ben-Gurion was an idealist who believed in his cause long before it seemed a realistic possibility. Though Ben-Gurion served as Defense Minister for a period, he relied on diplomacy as much as force. Through astute diplomatic efforts with Britain, which was in control of Palestine, he helped pave the road for a Jewish state."

*chuckles* Jimmy :)

Why are there so many Ben-Gurions?

I'll never understand why Jimmy Carter is always the butt of ridicule.

Speaking as a foreigner, if I had to pick the US President of the last four decades which I respected the most, Carter would come out top with a wide lead.

This leadership test is quite simple. Four questions á two options make sixteen possible outcomes.

I induled in a bit of useless clicking bout to find out which leaders the makers of this test believed to be direct opposites, something like a bitwise XOR.

The results are interesting:

Kennedy <-> Ben Gurion
Bush <-> Carter
O'Connell <-> Grant
Truman <-> de Gaulle
Jackson <-> Jefferson
Sadat <-> Wilson
Lincoln <-> Churchill
Washington <-> Reagan

Does anybody else detect a pattern here?

Anwar Sadat

Benjamin D'Israeli!

... oh, what, no Benjamin D'Israeli here?  I am soooo him.

And yes, Carter really wasn't that bad.  He was just president at the wrong time.  (I think he would have made a perfect fit in the '90's for example.)

*laughs* strangely, Carter is the only recent U.S. president I know of not to have some terrible cruel joke made at his expense (Nixon's fraud, Ford's falling down, Reagan's senility, Bush Senior's vomit, Clinton's cigar, Bush Junior's word-manglings and gung-ho-ness and lamentable approach to international relations and...).

Um... not lately, Paragon, but that because they probably ran out of 'em after the '80's.  There's always the peanut jokes (Carter was a peanut farmer, I think...), but I can't recall any that went farther than that.  (Well, I think there were quite a few about his bungling of the hostage crisis and his lack of charisma...)

Anyway, they send him up as a boring, forgotten president on SNL's TV Fun House segment. :)

I'm Wesley Clark as a military leader.  Haven't a clue who he is.
