Yuck! None of them. Kennedy is okay, but not really “good looking” in my book. With Obama, sorry all I can see is Alfred E. Neuman. ---

Lincoln had an amazing smile, but it doesn’t come out in photographs. Also, he was funny. I doubt Rutherford Hayes was funny. Taft was a big sweetheart who loved golf and naps and didn’t really want to be President. I’d give him a hug, you know? ---

I’d tap Obama and Woodrow Wilson (the younger the better of course). No one else! A couple others weren’t ugly when young, but too far outside my type. ---

Would this have happened to Richard Nixon? A woman in Buffalo met Obama when he was doing a meet and greet at a restaurant. “When Obama approached her, Haley blurted out those now-famous words: “You’re a hottie with a smokin’ little body.””… "Obama took the comment in stride, Haley reported: “He laughed, and then he said we need to take a picture because we’ve got to send this back to (wife) Michelle. So I yelled ‘eat your heart out , Michelle’. People tell me I should think before I open my mouth.”" > **[Obama's 'hottie' connection in Buffalo](http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2010/05/obamas-hottie-connection-in-buffalo/1)** > > Yesterday morning, Luann Haley noticed some Secret Service people hanging around the Buffalo wings restaurant next door. ---

Maybe. I would have partied with Nixon. The lying cheat sure knew how to tipple. ---

> [@Maiira](#): > > I’ll jump on the Obama bandwagon, though I gotta say some of these presidents in their younger years were pretty smokin’. (Also, not a president, but I’d totally do [Rahm Emmanuel](http://playhappy.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/rahm-emanuel.jpg).) Even though I pick Obama as #1, if Rahm Emmanuel ever becomes President, Obama becomes #2. And I’ve always had the hots for Lincoln. He was 6’4" . . . and you know what they say about men with Marfan syndrome. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rate-the-presidents-a-different-way-who-was-hottest/538939.md?page=3)
