of any president whose smiles we have records of. And probably the best smile of most other world leaders and political figures.
I’m sure the haters will say his grin is ridiculous in some way but c’mon…the guy has a fantastic smile. Easy to caricature, for sure, but that’s the charm.
And that’s my HO.
I gotta go with Teddy Roosevelt.
he does have a great smile. it is very close to his grandfather stanley’s.
we don’t see it very often because he knows that being president is serious stuff. however his wife did mention on oprah that he has a great sense of humour.
AAAAAHHH!
Can’t sleep…Teddy Roosevelt will eat me…Can’t sleep…Teddy Roosevelt will eat me…
I don’t think that’s really a smile, he looks like he’s laughing.
My vote is for Eisenhower’s.
Agree, Obama’s is the best ever!
This thread is useless without a picture of Obama’s smile!

FWIW I agree. A google search turned up tons of images, and pretty much all of them looked genuine. He’s obviously got a politician’s mind, but he seems more real and accessible than the average old white dude.
W.'s “heh-heh-heh” smile was pretty good. Didn’t he look great smiling during his “I don’t really care all that much about Bin Laden” news conference?
Of course, Jimmy Carter was famous for his smile.
It’s a shame the photography of the time couldn’t capture Lincoln’s grin. You can look at his face and know it must have transformed it.
Jewel Staite for President!
My mom always thought that JFK had a pretty killer grin.
That proved to be true at the White house correspondence dinner
Yes. Not only does Obama have the best smile, but I think he’s the hottest.
Another vote for Eisenhower.
Nixon’s smile, on the other hand, looked a little forced.
Eisenhower looked a little like the Joker when he smiled. here or here or here
FDR was pretty famous for his grin.
Reagan does that thing where he smiles with half his mouth.
Not sure, but when Obama walked out all cool and serious to make his acceptance speech, he cracked about the best shit eating grin evah.
Nonsense, Reagan had a better smile than Obama’s.
So obviously he was the better President.
Well, c’mon, who doesn’t? Is anyone else even a contender? Of the many ways American presidents can be described, “fuckable” isn’t even on the list, is it?
In my own opinion, the only remotely sexy presidents (aside from Obama, who is decidedly sexy, not remotely) are JFK (Okay, pretty damn sexy) and Clinton. Reagan may have been a movie star, but I never could figure out why, since he had zero sex appeal. FDR? Not really. Eisenhower? Truman? Hoover? Teddy R.? Johnson? Jimmy? The Bushes?
Reaching futher… Grant might have had it goin’ on when he was younger. I think LIncoln was sexy, but I think tha’ts just a fetishy thing with me and very tall thin men with great bones structure. (I think Howard stern is hot.) Ditto Andrew Jackson.
Jefferson might have been a looker when he was young.
And that’s it. But maybe Obama is setting a new standard, especially in these shallow times that only get shallower, and hottitude is going to become more of a factor for future presidents.
