Is this him?

Those eyes are piercing, even in a black and white photograph.

Good to know he had some admirable goals regarding African Americans. Makes it a shame he was killed so soon after being elected.

Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Wow, I don't think I've seen a picture of him young before.

I'd say the 5 most handsome US presidents were...
Zachary Taylor, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, James Garfield, and Barack Obama.

Lincoln was certainly not considered attractive during his lifetime, but I think he had the sort of looks that appeal to a subset of women.

Obama is extremely attractive. I once had a naughty dream about him.

Garfield did have piercing eyes as a young man, and Grant did have a certain broodiness. The others never stuck me as attractive.

Ruthford B. Hayes had a nice face.

John Quincy Adam had nice eyes.

If you like bad boys, there is always Nixon...

Young Rutherford B. Hayes was hot, too...

I think I posted a thread about handsome former presidents, but I can't quite remember.

Oops. I posted a picture of Hayes before I realized that you had already done so. Oh well, he has a face worth looking at twice.

Queen Victoria

Thought Millard Fillmore was the most handsome president:
