I like Teddy, but I'm not sure I'd rank him among the best. Then again, I'm not entirely sure who I'd put among the best, though.

I'd put FDR in there as well because had it not been for FDR and his New Deal Programs that helped pull America from the throes of the Great Depression, the Middle Class probably doesn't exist and working class people aren't afford a family home because those New Deal programs spawned all of that in the 1930s/1940s and the G.I. Bill helped returning servicemen attend college when they probably wouldn't have otherwise.

A lot of the economic recovery had nothing to do with the president and FDR's programs have had long-term harms. Plus America's post-war success had less to do with government programs and more to do with the fact that America's infrastructure was in better shape than other nations because we weren't being bombed.
