Obama's place in historical rankings (election, elect, war, history)

[Buckeye77]

Hey, for a Kenya-born Muslim, he's aces in my book.

Doesn't make the cut. He is at the bottom, where preserving liberties are involved

Theodore Roosevelt

FDR
Harry S Truman
Dwight Eisenhower
JFK
LBJ
Reagan
Clinton

If I had more time I could probably think of a few more who are better overall.

You're a historian? Big deal, I'm an astronaut.

I think he's one of the Top 5 Presidents of the 21st Century. Although just barely.

In the canyons of your mind perhaps.

Worse than Carter...

[Weichert]

You never know. And won't for the next 10-20 years.

When I was in school (long ago), Harry Truman was considered the worst president ever. Now, many (not all of course) rank him very high.

Carter is a great man. Not necessarily a great president. Not a lot of folks I would put in that place. What he has done after his presidency is inspiring. No president after his terms has shown the self sacrifice that Carter did.

This is a silly, silly poll. You make it so the WH moslem is in the top five vice bottom five. Proves you really don't want honest answers.
