Grover Cleveland and Calvin Coolidge are some of my favorite presidents from history. Calvin Coolidge may be the last conservative president we've had that actually stuck to his principles and didn't expand the government (I'm looking at you Reagan).
Greatness does not necessarily mean great policies. Geghis Khan was certainly a "great"leader. It can be debated how positive a force he was. Likewise for people like Lenin,Mao.
W. Bush higher than Obama? Ha! Two of the things the article blames Obama for -- a lackluster economy and the rise of ISIS -- can be laid directly at the feet of his predecessor. Likewise, you can always spot an uniformed/tendentious ranking by the placement of Kennedy and Reagan. Yes, both gave good speeches, but no, not enough was accomplished by either administration to justify anywhere near a top-10 ranking.

This seems to be a fairly objective summary in the context of our current polarized political atmosphere.
Spoiler alert: 35. Bush 36. Obama and 37. Carter are all ranked together....near the bottom.
nothing but a liberal ranking. after all, with fdr being placed at #3 and being one of the worst presidents ever, only ahead of wilson, carter and obama, i do not see how that site could ever be taken seriously.
Carter is way down the list but he is the only President who didn't take us into any wars.
but he did have the botched hostage rescue. I do think that ford did not take the USA into any war.
