Are these your personal rankings?
Quote:yes... yes the are
Okay...making sure.
We should do a weekly power ranking.
Can't say for the whole list but in my Lifetime (That ones I was aware of)
Reagan
Nixon
GHW Bush
GW Bush
Clinton
Johnson
Ford
And tied for Last
Obama and Carter
I think Chester A. Arthur should be ranked higher. After all, he did make it into a Die Hard movie.
Washington too low. LBJ waaaay too high. Buchanon dead on.
Quote:Washington too low. LBJ waaaay too high. Buchanon dead on.
Interestingly, on LBJ... I had him several spots lower, but moved him up after reading about how he's basically blown away every POTUS since FDR in just about every category you can think of... margin of victory... approval ratings... national debt... unemployment... easing severe global tentions. He's like the ultimate Fantasy POTUS if we were playing for points. ...highly underrated.
[BLEEP] FDR abd Lincoln you want to score presidents both of them are amoung the worse offenders of individual liberty. Add the bushes, Obama and LBJ to that next tier of suck.
Washington
Madison
Coolidge
Regan
Jefferson
Groover
Van Buren
Tyler
Taylor
Johnson
Is this from personal memory?
My personal favorite is William Henry Harrison, whose inaugural speech was almost longer than his presidency.
Lesson learned: Wearing an overcoat in freezing weather is not a sign of weakness.
Quote:Washington
Madison
Coolidge
Regan
Jefferson
Groover
Van Buren
Tyler
Taylor
Johnson
Andrew or Lyndon Baines Johnson?
Anyone who rocks this look, especially while serving as POTUS, is automatically #1 in my book.

Nixon is way too high. Forget Watergate. Nixon gave us the EPA, price controls on beef, and under him DDT was banned which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people (mostly African).

Andrew of course LBJ would be towards the bottom for me

The democrat Andrew Johnson was pure garbage as a POTUS. LBJ puts him to shame.

Forget political parties man he held the country together in the darkest of days. After lincolns assassination it would have been so easy to see society dissolve into civil war again. Johnson upheld pardons for the condfederate sates and probably more than anyone is the reason we stil have a union.

I don't think you know who LBJ was? He's pretty much the grandfather of your modern day welfare state.
