Jackson was a ruthless, land-grabbing, bullying dickhead. But I guess you kind of have to be those things to be a US President (although land-grabbing has been out of style for a while now).
I can't believe anybody is choosing any US Pres. as a dead person they want to meet if they can meet 3 dead people. I do think US Presidents are interesting and, in fact, focused my undergrad work on one of them (Jefferson) but, christ, all of them are relatively boring and horrible if we're talking about all of human history.
