John Howard was the best in my time,,he wore his heart on his sleeve,,and he tried to stay fit by walking regulary,,he is no longer Prime Minister but he still attends sporting games where Australia plays and he just sits in the stands with his wife and everyone else,,he was our longest serving Prime Minister,,He introduced a 10% GST into our country which was a good financial move for Australia,,He introduced APRIA into our banks,,a watchdog over the banks,,which went a long way to saving us from the credit crash that hit most of the world,,He also created a fund that was meant to take the pressure off the tax payer as more and more baby boomers retired..alas that was a plan that went wrong,he was voted out and the labor party squandered the fund..And that is the end of my long winded story,,there are other Australians who do not see him in the light that i do..oh yes he also brought in Gun Control that at the time i did not agree with,,but i can see where it made sense,,even though i handed in my gun...He was also visiting with the American President when 9/11 went down..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

I also think JFK was a great president!  I feel this way because I was living then and maybe other presidents did more life changing things but I was not here at that time!

We had two , Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.  But the best Prime Minister we should have had was Enoch Powell.

Sorry P, in my lifetime there have been no great leaders in Great Britain, only self serving egotistical politicians, John Smith was a man I greatly admired but unfortunately he died way before his time, my "politics" also deem it almost impossible that a leader of the party I vote for in a general election will ever lead this country, but hey, I'm Scottish, and I think our wee country has a more than adequate leader at the moment, only time will tell though.

John F Kennedy, of course. He was everybody's hero at that time. He cast spells over all of us, kids included. When he was killed I cried and cried and cried. I was what? Six years old? And it effected me so. I knew a man who did not like him because of his powerful charisma, he compared Jack to Hitler

I appreciate John Kennedy and the Kennedy's in general. Teddy Roosevelt is high on my list. Also the Shriever the man that started the peace corps. I think Martin Luther King was a great leader and inspirer.
