The man did more after his presidency to help people than many do their entire lives. One can agree or disagree on his policies as a president, but he kept working with his own two hands to help people almost all the way to the very end. It says a lot that I recognize that about him far more than his legacy as President.

Of a broken heart no doubt.

RIP, my friend. I'm sorry we couldn't pull it off in the end. Hopefully things won't turn out as bad as we fear. It's a small chance, though we may even exit this time of turmoil better than we were.

What a legend. If only more presidents would aspire to be like him.

That would be awesome. I'd also settle for non convicted criminals that aren't mentally retarded pathologic liers though.

So excited Suharto gets to meet back up with his old buddy so they can kill a bunch more innocent people together like they used to in the good old days,

Greatest ex-president ever.
Thomas Jefferson was before my time but was supposed to also be pretty good.
Pick one
Nah.
Lincoln
Honorable mentions:
FDR (that is, if you weren't ethnically Japanese)
George Washington (that is, if you weren't black, he'd been a great president)
Yea I feel like every "Great" leader has a dark shadow. There are no saints in leadership, especially not a leader of a large country.
Of the names you listed, only Washington was ever an ex-president. Lincoln and FDR died in office.
Ex-President
Washington was a pretty bad president if you were Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois).
FDR left a legacy of betraying allies in the post WW2 world. Fuck him.
