Survey shows Barack Obama tops list of most over-rated political figure

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Also over-rated is FDR. Among the most under-rated political figures are Calvin Coolidge, Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, and Bill Clinton.

"Former President Barack Obama has been compared to Jesus Christ, Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, which may explain why he was the runaway winner in a newly released poll of conservative thinkers on the most overrated political figures.
Mr. Obama topped the rankings of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity survey, which compiled responses from 120 “influential conservative thought makers,” including lawmakers, governors, scholars, business leaders and writers.

“For the most overrated category, the person who was far and away the leading choice was Barack Obama,” said the report by the free-market committee.

Former President Calvin Coolidge, “whose tax cuts and limited government policies helped create the roaring 1920s,” was deemed the most underrated figure, followed by former President Donald Trump.

Economist Stephen Moore, a committee principal, undertook the survey to counter the “liberal/progressive historical view of political figures,” citing a recent poll of historians that ranked Mr. Obama among the greatest presidents and Mr. Trump as one of the worst."

Jesus was murdered, so I don't know why your chart surprises you.

The Committee to Unleash Prosperity is a conservative organization. There is no rule that states all polls must include liberals.

The thread premise is blind partisan rightwing tripe.

It is but Obama was way over rated.

 

[JGalt]

No, but it makes the survey basically meaningless. It would be akin to asking Florida Gator fans to weigh in on UGA or FSU, you will not get unbiased answers.

How is it meaningless? Unless you're employed by the federal government, there's no rule that everyone's opinion has to be weighed with the same balance.

The world needs more "blind partisan rightwing tripe", in order to counter your blind partisan leftwing trip.

You folks think you're God's-given authority of what everyone should believe, which is total crap.

Whatever!

You sound like such a bitch, with your "whatever" gesture.

Seems legit.

Seems legit.

Surprise surprise! There are people in this country who legitimately have core values and beliefs that aren't aligned with yours.

Get used to it.

The same reason it would be useless to ask a Gator fan how amazing the UGA Dawgs are.

How about cherry-picking, gaslighting, projection, playing the victim, proof pretense, and all 13 of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." You leftists have developed those things to an art form, which is no surprise. You've been practicing at those ever since the Bolshevik Revolution.

You got grabbed. Deal with it like the man you wish you were.
