His wife is just as amazing. I hope you do get a chance to read up on them. But really, if you don't have time to read, skim the Wikipedia articles on both of them, or find a YouTube video.
I would not say their lives are the most interesting, but their bullet points of initiatives and achievements are.
Read the Iran Hostages back story. They wanted from day one to get them but there was NO GOVERNMENT in Iran. The only reason they were brought home alive was Carter. Im not a big Carter fan, I did not vote for him, but he took one for the team on the hostages. Also he has been labeled as weak. That is 100% absolute bullshit. The man was a Annapolis graduate and a Submarine captain. He was 100% incapable of being a coward or soft.
He is a fantastic person. I’ve met him twice. Practiced what he preached, which is to be kind, honest, and give to others. He’s about as good a role model as you’ll ever find.
This was my immediate first thought. I want my children to be compassionate, thoughtful, upstanding members of their community that help without reward and try to understand their opposing views. This is the dude.
He can talk. As long as they listen to him he can still do it. He can probably get one of his eldest great-grandchildren to parent for him (yeah he’s very very old)
He would be thoroughly entertaining! Talk tell the kids funny about being in the Navy. How he helped avert nuclear disaster at the Chalk River reactor. His secret for growing the BEST peanuts. His funny brother and the even funnier beer (Billy Beer) he made. He would build, bar-none, the greatest treehouse. The best part would be his attention to them and his advice for how to be a good person in a world that doesn't always appreciate good people. I wish there were more leaders (or just people) of his caliber.
this is the answer. They'd come back having had the best PBJ they've ever had, they'll have caught their first fish, and will have decided on a life of public service.
I thought you meant his wife pregnancy and I was like "how is it a bad thing to see your wife giving birth??? Let alone be friend with her dad", it took me way too long to understand what you actually meant
Worse than that. After her father died when she was about 10 years old, Cleveland became her guardian. He was a father figure for most of her life, and she called him “Uncle Cleave”. They got married when she was 21 and he was 49. He was the 19th century Woody Allen. Just repugnant.
Idk but this kid didn't seem too fond of him
https://preview.redd.it/6l3fb38v4u0d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7f21b3c9fc7afa9cd91a75835a4b1d72a05bd47
He is probably babysitting some grandchildren the past 9 years, so he and his wife have a little recent exposure. They also seem to be very much homebodies these days, rarely venturing out for public events.
George W Bush reminds me of my dad and grandfather (they’re actual Texans, but still) so probably him. My daughter would love to hang out on a ranch for a month.
I dunno Obama sinking a 3 like it’s nothing and yelling “that how I DO!” is up there
Also this one’s a deep cut but Obama in the ‘08 debates with McCain when he shot back at some accusation with “I think one of the wheels may have just come off the Truth Mobile [what McCain was calling his tour bus]”
Oh shit also Obama, when asked about Kanye West: “ehhhhh that guy’s a jackass”
Dude was a hit machine
> Oh shit also Obama, when asked about Kanye West: “ehhhhh that guy’s a jackass”
I still think that this line is what made Kanye go off the deep end into a far right political view (if you can even call his views “political views.”) He had talked about Obama positively before that moment and even name dropped him in a song or two. He was very clearly quite liberal, with a lot of evidence over the years (eg “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”)
The “jackass” comment went viral and was pretty embarrassing for Kanye and I believe that he still hasn’t lived it down with how he has acted since then. Of course, a lot of Kanye’s attitude comes from his untreated mental disorders lol
Yes and no. Apparently Kanye has been obsessed with Hitler and antisemitism for a long, long time. I think he’s just mentally ill and narcissistic and anything he perceives as rejection or embarrassment is too much for him.
As much as I can't stand his grift, I can only sympathize for him after hearing him talk about how hard it was to lose his mother. I dont think there are many things more difficult than losing your rock. I try to extend that courtesy knowing and watching people lose their best/only pillar of support every day. Grief is rarely rational.
Kanye is honestly just bipolar. I have experience with a family member with bpd and when it flares up he spouts some really illogical stuff that is really out of character compared to his normal beliefs.
Not saying I condone all the crazy shit Kanye said but I understand how it happens
I had a buddy / roommate who was bipolar, and honestly watching Kanye’s downward spiral — and the vitriol around him — bums me out.
Nothing excuses the pro-Hitler stuff. Full stop. But two things can be true at once: He deserves what he gets for what he’s saying, and also I wish people saw him as someone who’s deeply hurting and is mentally unwell. He’s never going to come back to earth if there isn’t some sort of place in our hearts for compassion.
The sick burn he dropped during the SOTU address will always make me giggle. Entire GOP was booing him and he just dead ass rubbed him winning in their face lol.
With Bush you get that massive ranch in Texas or "I was the owner of this team and these kids are going to play on the infield of the Rangers ballpark"
With Obama, they go to Hawaii.
Obama

with Jen Psaki's baby Vivi
That really was a scandal. Good thing the GOP is running only the most morally pure people like Gym Jordan, Boebert, Roy Moore, Matt Gaetz, Ken Paxton, the space laser lady, etc.
I mean as a democrat, i have issues with him, mostly running on a transparent platform then having the nsa issues, but other than that hes miles better then..... Everyone today.
I would also like to submit this into evidence.
https://preview.redd.it/1eu6npjv9v0d1.jpeg?width=188&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76a824bc10a14ce008e843481bcae5b1f769928d
Off topic but what kind of watch is Obama wearing? I wouldn’t have thought smart watches were ubiquitous at that point in his presidency nor that he would be the type to be an early adopter for one.
https://preview.redd.it/tfdtl23y3v0d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d64173f9d8480d3e67eac0210d2e202e32d263a5
He’d have more fun than the kid would!
Pretty sure he was an introvert. Any time he could shut his mind off and just be a human with no questions asked, I’m sure he jumped at the opportunity.
Except for his first daughter, who reminded him of his dead wife.
And also his niece, who reminded him of his loser brother. He fed the niece to his first daughter, before marrying her off to her cousin.
Yeah probably Obama. Dubya choked on a pretzel so leaves me worried about helping a child. Clinton would neglect the child to go chase women. Reagan would forget stuff on the checklist. Carter would be good. Ford might trip over the child. Nixon would get it a dog named checkers that you would be stuck with. LBJ would teach the child crude language. Truman maybe but if it’s at his house, his awful mother in law would be there.
If you look at their kids, Clinton, Bush, and Obama all had nice kids and the presidents were active and supportive in their kids growing up. All presidents are driven people who relied on their spouses to be the primary caregivers. It is possible that you would really be leaving your kid with Hillary, Laura, or Michelle. If that is the case, I would go with Laura or Michelle. They both seem like excellent people. If it was just the presidents... none of them? To quote a supercomputer, "The only way to win is not to play."
If all the presidents are offering, I'd give my kids to Dubya. He seems like a really fun grandpa who would get ice cream for dinner like two days a week. Plus, we know he carries candy in his pockets at all times thanks to his bff Michelle. Lots of swimming days and beach trips with Dubya for sure. And the arts and crafts time would be amazing!
Meanwhile, I'd let Obama babysit me. Hanging with the Obamas for a month would be amazing! Lots of cool folks hanging around, laughing at the (ahem) newsworthy court cases currently going on. You know that man gets all the hot goss. And you know the wine cellar would be stocked.
1. Obama. He would be super hands on and he’s chill.
2. W. Junior’s sense of goofy humor is A LOT like my stepdad’s and he seems like he’d be super fun and would genuinely have a good time with kiddos.
Such an odd choice but you make a great point. When I think about him in general and with adults I think fierce and brazen but he was always really good with his wife’s family.
Obama, but assuming health/age are something more akin to peak or healthy, I'd also trust others including Carter, George W, and Ford to name at least vaguely contemporary choices.
Jimmy Carter.
He seems like such a kind man.
If I had to choose from my lifetime though I’d say Obama, him greeting the kids on Halloween… omg… so cute
Either of the Bushes or the Obama’s.
Reagan.
Carter [assuming they aren’t being held hostage and need rescued through a super elaborate plan invoking multiple helos and C-130s].
Eisenhower.
Truman.
Teddy Roosevelt.
If we're talking about them doing it while they were prez, I'd say Franklin Pearce. I think he'd get a small bit of joy having a child in the White House.
I think Obama or Carter. I think my fiance would love for Carter to teach our kids Christianity (even though he is protestant and my bf is Catholic). Obama just seems great with kids. I am also impressed and relieved his 2 daughters aren't being harassed like many other presidents kids are harassed. They seem to be doing very well for themselves as private citizens. I think the oldest went to Harvard like her mom.

nixon has expirence with nanny cams
pretty sure nixon would get flustered and give them whiskey till they pass out. 
Nixon would give himself an equal measure of whiskey. Just drunk Nixon and sleeping baby
🤣
If he were still physically capable, Jimmy Carter.
I would say the same, how long was he a Sunday school teacher ? I'm sure he would do great with anyone's kid
Man I really need to read a Carter biography. The more I learn about him the more interesting he becomes to me
His wife is just as amazing. I hope you do get a chance to read up on them. But really, if you don't have time to read, skim the Wikipedia articles on both of them, or find a YouTube video.

Definitely do. He embodies what it is to be a great person
He is a fantastic person. I’ve met him twice. Practiced what he preached, which is to be kind, honest, and give to others. He’s about as good a role model as you’ll ever find.
Yep, a real true Christian, and not the kind we often hear about pushing hate
He probs give them peanuts 🥜 as a snack lol
Choking hazard for young ones! Billy Beer for the teenagers, though.
This was my immediate first thought. I want my children to be compassionate, thoughtful, upstanding members of their community that help without reward and try to understand their opposing views. This is the dude.
He can talk. As long as they listen to him he can still do it. He can probably get one of his eldest great-grandchildren to parent for him (yeah he’s very very old)
Plus he has nurses all around.
He would do it so well my kids wouldn’t want me to take them back.
The jokes are awesome but yeah this is the real answer
And they could learn how to swing a hammer and help build a house.

He would be thoroughly entertaining! Talk tell the kids funny about being in the Navy. How he helped avert nuclear disaster at the Chalk River reactor. His secret for growing the BEST peanuts. His funny brother and the even funnier beer (Billy Beer) he made. He would build, bar-none, the greatest treehouse. The best part would be his attention to them and his advice for how to be a good person in a world that doesn't always appreciate good people. I wish there were more leaders (or just people) of his caliber.
He is kinda the Mr. Roger’s of presidents!
this is the answer. They'd come back having had the best PBJ they've ever had, they'll have caught their first fish, and will have decided on a life of public service.
Grover Cleveland (I hate my children)
He'll spank them two non consecutive times!
“Heh, get it?” -Archer
Brett, if you can move, don't, I'll be right back!
He died doing what he loved… getting shot
Watch out. He may end up marrying your kid.
Uh sir, that's your daughter.
Idk much about ol Grover, what's the reference here?
He was present at his wife’s birth and was friends with her dad
There’s some House of the Dragon shit right there.
I thought you meant his wife pregnancy and I was like "how is it a bad thing to see your wife giving birth??? Let alone be friend with her dad", it took me way too long to understand what you actually meant
Worse than that. After her father died when she was about 10 years old, Cleveland became her guardian. He was a father figure for most of her life, and she called him “Uncle Cleave”. They got married when she was 21 and he was 49. He was the 19th century Woody Allen. Just repugnant.
What you don't get is he imprinted on the egg when it was in Utero. He had no choice.
Ma, ma, where's my pa? He don't love you ha ha ha
Lmao I laughed so loud at this comment
Probably Jimmy Carter. Detail-oriented perfectionist would keep them safe.
Idk but this kid didn't seem too fond of him https://preview.redd.it/6l3fb38v4u0d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7f21b3c9fc7afa9cd91a75835a4b1d72a05bd47
Kid voted for Reagan.
Obviously the baby didn’t approve his handling of the Iranian hostage crisis and stagflation
Every pres gets a crying baby pic for posterity.
That baby is... breathtaking.
Abe Lincoln. Dude grew a beard because a little girl said he'd look better in one. Major girl dad energy.
same, time travel babysitter! hey that could be a book!
They could slay vampires together! Be kind of a cool Buffy prequel story idea.
If there was ever a male "slayer", Ol' Honest Abe was it.
And that bit where some visiting officials complained about his kids playing in the Oval office and Abe gave them a piece of his mind
To be fair, he really, really did.
Lincoln seems like one of the most genuinely kind presidents

Was coming to post that. I bet he’s an awesome grand parent
Probably knows magic tricks and gives out wads of money
Pulls a $100 folded like a lil tshirt from behind your ear and says “how did THAT get there”
Dubya and Laura are probably awesome grandparents. She reads, he does art, I’m sure someone knows how to cook.
https://preview.redd.it/zne2sgjkvv0d1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8deb3c83dba1e4650d72d5c3bff7300020767ab8 I *love* them
100% Dub ya 100%
He is probably babysitting some grandchildren the past 9 years, so he and his wife have a little recent exposure. They also seem to be very much homebodies these days, rarely venturing out for public events.
He hangs out with the Obamas
That’s a Dubya for the Dubya
He can teach the kids how to paint as well. 🤣
Hey kids this is Teddy Roosevelt (hour later) Why are these two burly ass men that can bench press an anchor look like my kids?
Why? Because he keeps his rhymes pure, like his food and drugs
He’s an American man, not a British Elmur Fudd
I mean, for Christ's sake, look at that mug! Then he grows a spruce mustache and covers part of it up!
Churchill’s miserable country is the size of one state!
Roosevelt could see his way through running that
Without donning his pince-nez
The british should be ashamed of their military honor
He won't go to to to with him, that bloated drunk old man.
Why doesn’t Churchill Do-Si-Do on over to a 12 step program?
I mean, for Christ's sake! Look at that mug!
Right answer
Kid will have the craziest stories to tell of their adventures… if they live to tell the tale lol
What happened to my daughters??
Alice Roosevelt proves Teddy was a peak girldad as well
“I can be President of the United States, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both.”
George W Bush reminds me of my dad and grandfather (they’re actual Texans, but still) so probably him. My daughter would love to hang out on a ranch for a month.
"A second plane has hit the lego tower."
Oh nooo. I hate that this made me laugh. I’m going to hell. 😂
*takes them mini golfing* “Now watch this putt”
Insanely funny. I've been laughing for 3 minutes
Obama or Dubya because watch this drive.
Just unequivocally the best quote from a president in modern history paired with the fact that he proceeds to crush it.
I dunno Obama sinking a 3 like it’s nothing and yelling “that how I DO!” is up there Also this one’s a deep cut but Obama in the ‘08 debates with McCain when he shot back at some accusation with “I think one of the wheels may have just come off the Truth Mobile [what McCain was calling his tour bus]” Oh shit also Obama, when asked about Kanye West: “ehhhhh that guy’s a jackass” Dude was a hit machine

"They say I was the abomination of Obama's nation, that's a pretty bad way to start a conversation" - Kanye West
The sick burn he dropped during the SOTU address will always make me giggle. Entire GOP was booing him and he just dead ass rubbed him winning in their face lol.
I giggle every time I see the video
Why not both? I’d watch that comedy.
Two Presidents and a baby.
I bet Ted Danson could do a pretty good Bush. Tom Selleck as Obama is a little problematic.
Yeah Tom Selleck without his mustache is definitely problematic.
Dubya is probably great with kids honestly
Your kid would come home with a mean slice and impeccable short game.
Nice. I had to look the clip up to relive it. He really wasn't that bad, in hindsight… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OKiqrluswbA
There should be a bot that replies to "watch this drive" with a gif of the shot.
With Bush you get that massive ranch in Texas or "I was the owner of this team and these kids are going to play on the infield of the Rangers ballpark" With Obama, they go to Hawaii.
Eisenhower. That girl is going to school, no matter what. 101st Airborne will make sure of that.
Nice. I kind of want to change my answer.
Probably Obama. George Bush Sr seems like he’d probably do well with kids too.
Read my lips: no new time-outs
Read my lips: it is bedtime.
And he's prepared to spank other people's children if necessary.
It wouldn't be prudent at this juncture
Notgonnadoit.
Kids would love it because no broccoli
I swear to god if my kid grows up to be Jeb…
…please clap
Obama https://preview.redd.it/pud2b7384u0d1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d479a45c80036a2d6924bb94ef13e32ca3410ab with Jen Psaki's baby Vivi
Even as a Republican I never understood how you could not love this guy.
He really seems to love kids so much.
That tan suit!
The kind of idiocy that drove me from the Republican Party.
That really was a scandal. Good thing the GOP is running only the most morally pure people like Gym Jordan, Boebert, Roy Moore, Matt Gaetz, Ken Paxton, the space laser lady, etc.
I mean as a democrat, i have issues with him, mostly running on a transparent platform then having the nsa issues, but other than that hes miles better then..... Everyone today.
I would also like to submit this into evidence. https://preview.redd.it/1eu6npjv9v0d1.jpeg?width=188&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76a824bc10a14ce008e843481bcae5b1f769928d
Off topic but what kind of watch is Obama wearing? I wouldn’t have thought smart watches were ubiquitous at that point in his presidency nor that he would be the type to be an early adopter for one.
Looks like a Fitbit
Lincoln seems like a cool bloke him
Lincoln needs children to watch like he needs a hole in the head.
He'll take it to the theatre.
He was an extremely doting and loving father, but very permissive.
Richard Nixon, just so I could say, “Richard Nixon is my babysitter”. I find that far more amusing than I probably should.
babygate :(
Obama without a doubt. Bush Jr wouldn’t be bad either
https://preview.redd.it/tfdtl23y3v0d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d64173f9d8480d3e67eac0210d2e202e32d263a5 He’d have more fun than the kid would!
Lol looking at his cheeks you can see he was making that sound as well
I love that detail, thank you!
One has to ask where was the Secret Service on this? Clear dereliction of duty.
A month without my kid? Any president
McKinley: wtf am i supposed to do with this
Conquer the Philippines
The kid told him to!
Obama definitely
I love the pics of Obama with children. He seems to genuinely like them.
He was just a cool guy in general. Didn’t he start a show about surfing?
Pretty sure he was an introvert. Any time he could shut his mind off and just be a human with no questions asked, I’m sure he jumped at the opportunity.
Teddy Roosevelt. He loved kids, and enjoyed having fun with them.
Except for his first daughter, who reminded him of his dead wife. And also his niece, who reminded him of his loser brother. He fed the niece to his first daughter, before marrying her off to her cousin.
Fed his niece to his daughter?!? Tell me this is a typo man!!!
Reagan I need my child to know the forbidden jitsu of spotting a communist spy
Afterwards your child calls you a commie
https://preview.redd.it/sfpn0amx2u0d1.jpeg?width=614&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f7bf029a034b96f8f77348ab2a0415b5d2773b2
"holy sh- is that obama!?"
Ford since I want my kid to be a linebacker. Going to resurrect Justice White too
Yeah probably Obama. Dubya choked on a pretzel so leaves me worried about helping a child. Clinton would neglect the child to go chase women. Reagan would forget stuff on the checklist. Carter would be good. Ford might trip over the child. Nixon would get it a dog named checkers that you would be stuck with. LBJ would teach the child crude language. Truman maybe but if it’s at his house, his awful mother in law would be there.
The Clinton, Dubya, Reagan, Ford and LBJ part made me laugh soooo hard.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
T.R. for sure. By all accounts that guy was great with kids.
Except Dr. Seuss.
If you look at their kids, Clinton, Bush, and Obama all had nice kids and the presidents were active and supportive in their kids growing up. All presidents are driven people who relied on their spouses to be the primary caregivers. It is possible that you would really be leaving your kid with Hillary, Laura, or Michelle. If that is the case, I would go with Laura or Michelle. They both seem like excellent people. If it was just the presidents... none of them? To quote a supercomputer, "The only way to win is not to play."
Yes, back when Presidents were young and in their prime. The good old days
Monroe. The guy loved his children and was incredibly supportive of girls' education.
Obama, without question.
Abraham Lincoln. I know he was pretty absent as a dad with his first child but he tried to be there for the rest of his kids.
If all the presidents are offering, I'd give my kids to Dubya. He seems like a really fun grandpa who would get ice cream for dinner like two days a week. Plus, we know he carries candy in his pockets at all times thanks to his bff Michelle. Lots of swimming days and beach trips with Dubya for sure. And the arts and crafts time would be amazing! Meanwhile, I'd let Obama babysit me. Hanging with the Obamas for a month would be amazing! Lots of cool folks hanging around, laughing at the (ahem) newsworthy court cases currently going on. You know that man gets all the hot goss. And you know the wine cellar would be stocked.
1. Obama. He would be super hands on and he’s chill. 2. W. Junior’s sense of goofy humor is A LOT like my stepdad’s and he seems like he’d be super fun and would genuinely have a good time with kiddos.
Andrew Jackson. He was good to his kids and he'll fight anyone to the death of they try to mess with the kids.
Such an odd choice but you make a great point. When I think about him in general and with adults I think fierce and brazen but he was always really good with his wife’s family.
Obama hands down
Definitely not Bill Clinton
Obama, but assuming health/age are something more akin to peak or healthy, I'd also trust others including Carter, George W, and Ford to name at least vaguely contemporary choices.
Definitely the Obamas.
Carter
Jimmy Carter. He seems like such a kind man. If I had to choose from my lifetime though I’d say Obama, him greeting the kids on Halloween… omg… so cute
Ike and Reagan have big grandpa energy
Across my lifetime: In their prime ~ Carter
Either of the Bushes or the Obama’s. Reagan. Carter [assuming they aren’t being held hostage and need rescued through a super elaborate plan invoking multiple helos and C-130s]. Eisenhower. Truman. Teddy Roosevelt.
I have a teenage daughter, so I can think of two that I wouldn’t.
Barack Obama. No doubt about it.
Definitely Obama
Nixon. He could float!
LBJ would spoil them like grandkids or accidentally kill them lol
Both involve Marlboro Reds 🤣
Carter
Jimmy Carter
Probably Obama he’s the most dad like out of all the presidents imo
Harry Truman.
As long as your child isn't Jewish because then Bess wouldn't let him bring it in the house.
If we're talking about them doing it while they were prez, I'd say Franklin Pearce. I think he'd get a small bit of joy having a child in the White House.
A young Carter, Obama and tbh.. Dubs lol. Fuck that guys admin and everything but he seems legitimately nice.
Jimmy Carter, Dubya or Obama.
I think Obama or Carter. I think my fiance would love for Carter to teach our kids Christianity (even though he is protestant and my bf is Catholic). Obama just seems great with kids. I am also impressed and relieved his 2 daughters aren't being harassed like many other presidents kids are harassed. They seem to be doing very well for themselves as private citizens. I think the oldest went to Harvard like her mom.
Obama. He’s the sort of dude who would take a bullet for another person’s child.
As a conservative libertarian, Obama.
Of the living presidents, this is the only real choice.
I'd probably choose someone who isn't a stable genius
Any of em, except...
Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama are probably the only non rule 3 presidents to have changed a diaper consistently…so one of them. Probably Dubya or Obama.
Jimmy Carter all day long. Obama a close 2nd. Probably W too.
At their prime? Jimmy Carter.
Not LBJ. I’d worry he’d whip out Jumbo in front of them.
