"But the historic election of America's first black president cannot be ignored. That a man whose ancestors included a slave could become the leader of a nation founded to some extent in slavery is as much an achievment for the country as it is for Obama himself."
This is from the article, so basically they're giving him credit just for being black.
C'mon now, that's simple affirmative action in action. Never seen it before?
8 out of 10 "best" presidents were Democrats. LOL. No bias on the part of the loony liberals who picked the "best."
And there have only been 20 presidents since 1900, so I'm not sure being 10th is some sort of ringing endorsement. Also laughable is the fact that Dwight Eisenhower is nowhere to be found on the list.
also it was only 7 out of 10 and a big part of that was there's been more Dem. presidents since 1900 so of course they would show more on there, 1. Theodore Roosevelt 2. Ronald Reagan 3. Dwight Eisenhower
This is simply a poor reflection on Newsweek. I wonder what Pravda thought of Stalin when he was in power?
Pravda printed nothing but nice things about Stalin or else the editors got taken to a cold basement room in an old insurance building - with a drain in the middle of a floor and had a hole placed into their head.

Considering the accomplishments of the 15 Republican presidents since 1901 you find this shocking?, Taft, Harding, Herbert Hoover, Gerald Ford, Nixon, Dubya! Not hard to understand why Republicans have 8:2 odds of making the grade. Outside of Reagan, T. Roosevelt, and Eisenhower who do you have??
$16 trillion debt, continuing double digit unemployment, raising taxes on the middle class(when he promised not to), disrespected major world leaders, weakened our military, caused us to lose prestige in the world, and have a downgraded credit rating, prosecuted an unlawful war in Libya, presided over the Solyndra and Fast & Furious scandals, spent an inordinate amount of time on the golf course, and told business owners that someone did the work for them.
Shall I go on?
Go read the list and just because you have not directly benifitted from some of the social changes, does not mean that a good majority of others have not...
Interesting that anyone that complains about the economy have no criticism for the obstruction on legislature that could have provided more jobs. And the absolute audacity to still tout further tax breaks for the rich and trickle down voodoo and expect others to take you seriously. There's a very good reason why Obama is beating the pants off Romney, even with a slowed down recovery. People are aware of what the right wing has done to slow things down and many even believe that it borders treason. The right wing is so freaked out that Obama delivered a dead bin Laden, which made good his campaign promise, unlike his predecessor.
