Too early but Bush may be headed for the bottom 5; currently Buchanan, Pierce, Harding, A. Johnson. Wilson is near great, Carter, middle of the pack.

Note: Harding is said to have been fine at poker.

I've yet to see anyone produce an example of another president who committed as great an outrage against American citizens as FDR.

Leading the US when we helped defeat the Axis & managed to end the Great Depression is an outrage?

LOL

Progressives have it totally wrong.

Wilson Near great because he was anti-American

Harding economic record is not just slightly better, but several orders of magnitude better than FDR's

The FDR Depression last 8 years from his inauguration and only started to abate once Hitler conquered France.

FDR conducted the Tuskegee Experiments that likely influenced Megele and FDR also was responsible for the internment of 100,000 Japanese Americans.

FDR aided, abetted and befriended history's 2 biggest mass murdered Mao and Uncle Joe Stalin, neither of whom could have done it without FDR

Fuck FDR

A Pew Research Center poll released last week found that the share of the American public that approves of President George W. Bush has dropped to a new low of 28 percent.

An unscientific poll of professional historians completed the same week produced results far worse for a president clinging to the hope that history will someday take a kinder view of his presidency than does contemporary public opinion.

In an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted over a three-week period through the History News Network, 98.2 percent assessed the presidency of Mr. Bush to be a failure while 1.8 percent classified it as a success.

Asked to rank the presidency of George W. Bush in comparison to those of the other 41 American presidents, more than 61 percent of the historians concluded that the current presidency is the worst in the nation’s history. Another 35 percent of the historians surveyed rated the Bush presidency in the 31st to 41st category, while only four of the 109 respondents ranked the current presidency as even among the top two-thirds of American administrations.

At least two of those who ranked the current president in the 31-41 ranking made it clear that they placed him next-to-last, with only James Buchanan, in their view, being worse. “He is easily one of the 10-worst of all time and—if the magnitude of the challenges and opportunities matter—then probably in the bottom five, alongside Buchanan, Johnson, Fillmore, and Pierce,” wrote another historian.

The reason for the hesitancy some historians had in categorizing the Bush presidency as the worst ever, which led them to place it instead in the “nearly the worst” group, was well expressed by another historian who said, “It is a bit too early to judge whether Bush's presidency is the worst ever, though it certainly has a shot to take the title. Without a doubt, it is among the worst.”

He had the lowest approval rating of ANY president ever leaving office.

whats really hyserical though is the fact that Obamas is the same as his is and Romenys approval rating is the same as Obamas. The american people are fed uo with this corrupt two party system.thats why they want RINO Ron Paul in.

The US military and the American people would have performed as ably had another person been in office at the time. He was no field general. His policies did NOT end the Great Depression, they prolonged it. Your playing the apologist stains you.

No. It was for the good of the nation. Lincoln was right as well.

Yes. Lincoln preserved the nation but at the cost of much state power. It is still a really big question on whether he went too far, and that this nation was fundamentally changed for the negative because of it. I really have mixed feelings on that era and president.
