OK well this may be a bit of an unusual answer, to say the least, and most definately a unique one (especially considering that I'm a Democrat) as I may very well be the only one to pick this person for my favorite President...
Nonetheless, I'm gonna have to go with Ronald Reagan as my answer for but a single reason.
Now before I tell that reason let me say that... I know he didn't always do what most, myself included, would consider to be a good decision. But the one thing he did which, I believe, outweighs and far surpasses all and any of the not-so-favorable things he might have done is the very thing that has earned my utmost respect for the man.
What is that thing, you ask? Well, I'll tell you:
It is, in cooperation with Mikhail Gorbechov and through several years of communications with each other, Reagan's committed efforts (and eventual achievement) in bringing the Cold War to a grinding halt - An act which led up to and essentially lended a hand in the tearing down of the Berlin Wall; and ultimately, the fall of the Iron Curtain - that I find so noteworthy.
It is the single most honorable move for our government to make in recent years, if not decades.
And as if the humanity of it, for those previously living under the supression of the Iron Fist wasn't enough, it has also lain the path to some of the most groundbreaking and signifcant advancements towards modern-day technology, space exploration, and, for that matter, world peace that mankind may ever have witnessed with the agreement between Soviet and US governments to combine our scientific knowledge and research.
All of these, a great many series of events which I strongly believe would never have come to pass had it not been for the great lengths made in breaking the barrier between nations by these two noble and determined men.
and does that one sound oh too terribly much like a book report, or what? YIKES!
sorry for going all formal on you guys like that with all the overly emphasized attempts at being grammatically correct... a bad habit of mine, i'm afraid.

I'm not american, but i studied and love history, so i can say that my favourite president is John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
I remember his wonderful words: ""My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man".

I would have to say Ronald Reagan. Alot of people didnt like him as president, but nearly everyone loved him as a man.
