"........has the most juice."
I take that the mean the ballsiest, but not necessarily the most popular.
Of all time?
Top five in chronological order;
1). Jackson
2). Polk
3). TR
4). FDR
5). Truman
Everyone after Truman was either a wimp, a fool or a corporate spokesman. (like Reagan).

I think he already has, but some people refuse to give him credit for anything, no matter what it is. It's telling and that makes me sad, really.

To be fair FDR was able to get a lot done because he had some significant majorities in congress to back him up. The same can be said for LBJ.

Notice the Democratic majority grows, the longer FDR is in office.
