Btw, this round seems to be a Libertarian's nightmare.

Indeed it is.

FDR is terrible for too many reasons to list.
Truman killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians and further worked to erode federalism in the name of "civil rights".
Eisenhower was a moderate who started American involvement in Vietnam, installed the Shah, and failed to reverse the New Deal of the FDR administration.
Kennedy expanded social welfare programs and nearly got us into a war with Cuba.
Johnson eroded federalism and private property with the Orwellian "Civil Rights Act", further expanded social welfare programs, started the "War on Poverty", and escalated the Vietnam War.

I voted Eisenhower by default.
Agreed, except I defaulted to Truman.  Mainly because he did drop the bomb.  It was the correct choice at the time and history, I feel, has agreed with him.  Ike did build a pretty good highway system though.
