Who was the best us president? why?

I'm assuming this is question is for an essay or paragraph, some form of writing excersice, like it was for me:) The following is what I wrote and turned in. Feel free to use the ideas, but please put it into your own words so that you don't get into any trouble:) George Washington is the best US President because he chose to stop being President.

Explanation:

After a while, he decided that he had to step down so that America could figure out how to handle when their leadership changed. He knew that if America was going to last it would have to learn how to outlive him when he left.America couldn't be a monarchy, that was the reason they left in the first place. So, after dedicating forty-five years of his life to the service of his country, both in the war that helped make a country, and in taking control and leading them in the messy aftermath, he stepped down and showed America how to adjust without him. How to build structures and laws that would allow America to outlast the last latest President when their gone. Because he relenquished control, he taught America how to say goodbye and how to move forward. That's why he was the best US President.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
