Bill Clinton should be 43. He took the greatest economic expansion in US history, started by Reagan into recession. He passed the free trade laws that were any thing but free. His ME policy lead to 9/11. He is by far the worse president in my life time.1. Abraham Lincoln - No brainer...saved the country and created the UNITED States
2. George Washington- Father of our country but did not accomplish much as President
3. Franklin Delano Roosevelt - Made the US a modern Democracy and global Superpower
4. Teddy Roosevelt- The first modern President, gave us global reach
5. Dwight Eisenhower- Eight years of prosperity and National Hwy System
6. Harry Truman- Dropped the bomb, saved Europe, Korean War
7. Thomas Jefferson- Louisiana Purchase
8. John F. Kennedy- Overrated, did not accomplish much in three years
9. Ronald Reagan- Will drop as the impact of his economic policies set in
10. Lyndon Johnson- Great on social programs, blundered in Vietnam
11. Woodrow Wilson- WWI, League of Nations, horrible on Civil Rights
12. Barack Obama - Prevented a depression, Obamacare
13. James Monroe- Overrated as President, average at best
14. James Polk- Best of his era
15. Bill Clinton- Booming economy, relative peace......should rise
16. William McKinley- No idea why he is this high. Best thing is he gave us Teddy R
17. James Madison- Almost lost the country in 1812 in a stupid war
18. Andrew Jackson- Dropping on the list
19. John Adams- Great mind, founding father, not much of a President
20. George H.W. Bush- Average President, calm leadership, liberated Kuwait
21. John Q. Adams- Smartest President, not very good at it
22. Ulysses Grant- Disaster, shouldn't be this high
23. Grover Cleveland- Why this high?
24. William Taft- Teddy Roosevelt should have taken another term
25. Gerald Ford- Powerless after Watergate and Pardon
26. Jimmy Carter- Nice man, poorly suited for the job
27. Calvin Coolidge - caused the Great Depression
28. Richard Nixon- Knew the job better than most presidents, emotionally unfit to be President
29. James Garfield- shot
30. Benjamin Harrison
31. Zachary Taylor
32. Rutherford Hayes
33. George W. Bush- Worst modern President, 9-11, two wars and a collapsed economy
34. Martin Van Buren
35. Chester Arthur
36. Herbert Hoover- took the blame for a Depression started by Harding and Coolidge
37. Millard Fillmore
38. William Harrison- Only lasted 30 days, not much to evaluate
39. John Tyler
40. Warren Harding- The Donald Trump of his day. Ill suited for the job
41. Franklin Pierce- No interest in being President
42. Andrew Johnson- Botched reconstruction, could not get along with either party
43. James Buchanan- brought us the Civil War
Obama? what depression? The one that the left predicts but never happened? All to cover for Obama creating more debt then any all the presidents before him? And the racial discord that Obama fostered should mean he moves down the list instead of up. His Syrian/Lybian policy lead to what Hillary called the greatest humanitarian crisis since WW2 (FDR).
Just saying that those on the list will move in the future tells you that the list is subjective not objective. As if there were any objective way to rate presidents.
The way I rate the presidents of my l life time is how they made the country feel about their country. In that case Reagan is number one, Eisenhower, JFK, FDR, Clinton/Bush/Bush/Obama, Nixo (after Watergate, 2 prior) and finally "malaise" Carter.

Bill Clinton had a better economy than Reagan with more jobs and larger stock market and GDP increase. Bush 43 allowed 9-11
Obama took an economic collapse that was losing 770,000 jobs a month, a market that had dropped 7000 points and unemployment rate that had doubled and reversed the trend preventing a depression. He also saved the banks and auto companies from collapsing
You rate Presidents on how they make you feel?
What a Snowflake

What a Snowflake
As I said, Clinton road the greatest economic expansion in history, started by Reagan, into the 2000 recession. A short recession because Bush didn't do as Obama did in 2008.
Obama had a great chance starting out with the economy in a big recession, caused by the democrat congress. If it followed all the other US recessions the recovery would have been HUGE. But because of Obama's policies the recovery was weak and never really did materialize. Yeah you can guess all you want as to what could have happened but that is really a stupid way to rate things. The US not only had a very weak recovery but the debt increased greater then all the presidents before Obama. Buying a weak recovery with the credit that our children will have to pay seems like a weenie way of doing things.
And YES, the president's number one job is being a cheer leader, not as Carter who was a dismal failure.
Imagine what would have happened if Republicans tried to do what was best for the country instead of best for their own interests
Imagine what would have happened if Republicans tried to do what was best for the country instead of best for their own interests
They did. They kept the Democrat Messiah on a short leash, limiting the damage he could do.
Now he is done, his legacy largely erased, and his BLM and Antifa Sturmabteilung are attempting to start a race war.
Obama's signature legislation is collapsing all by itself. He didn't do anything to change US involvement in the Middle East. The job participation rate under Obama was the worst in decades. Race relations actually got worse. He increased the debt by almost 10 trillion after calling President Bush "unpatriotic" for increasing it by 5.8 trillion. He handed President Trump a bad situation in North Korea and Russia. He failed to close GITMO which was a major campaign promise. Wasted a stimulus package on jobs he admits weren't shovel ready. Obama's economic growth was pathetic. His own party lost the House, Senate and many Governorship's during his time. Obama is easily bottom 10.

700,000 Americans were losing their jobs each months and Republicans refused to do anything about it
Republicans voted for TARP under Bush but not a single one voted for the same funds under Obama
Not a single Republican voted for the Stimulus....but they took the money
Republicans demanded austerity in the middle of the worst recession in 75 years
Republicans blocked infrastructure spending for eight years because they didn't want the jobs to show up on Obama's watch....now Trump wants a trillion in infrastructure spending

All the so-called historians are Marxist professors. Their opinion doesn't mean jack shit.How do you get to be a "historian"? Take a test? Publish a book or two or just register democrat? This isn't serious history, it's high school yearbook stuff. Lincoln stays on top because, you know, well, he's Lincoln. Clinton abused an intern, lied to the public about it and freaking bombed a country in Europe without consulting congress when he was caught with his pants down. I guess you get to advance ten places for being a democrat.
Lol if Obama and these scholars are both Marxist, why wasn’t he #1 or even in the top 5?All the so-called historians are Marxist professors.

Too high.Can't wait to hear the whining about Dubya ranked at 33
Because everyone knows that, aside from Biden, Obama is the biggest loser who ever ascended the throne.Lol if Obama and these scholars are both Marxist, why wasn’t he #1 or even in the top 5?All the so-called historians are Marxist professors.

They call themselves "historians" but it's not real history. It's history for the poor fools who were stuck with a sub standard education courtesy of the federal government and ain't got a clue about the difference between the Revolutionary War and freaking Star Wars.
FDR is an icon and you don't fuck with icons even when they committed the most atrocious offense to the Constitution in history. with E.O. 9066. The list is for mind numbed robots who grew up in front of violent video games to get a handle on pop stars that don't necessarily play an instrument.
What historians?
