@NestorTheNica Yea, Bill Clinton was probablly the best president of the last 30 years, although he made some mistakes with regard to the Glass Stegal repeal, NAFTA, and GATT so he's moved down some in my opinion, but he also did a lot of good while in office as well. Obama has actually gone up a bit since this ranking was made, so. I plan on making an updated ranking sometime after the election.
He is trying to fight but, Repubs and Tea Baggers are not heeding to his pleas. They are sitting on every bill, this is the first administration in US history passed so few bills in the congress than ever before! All because, Obama is black, nothing els. Repubs don't want to cooperate. I am not sure how much U.S. Constitution will allow president to take unilateral decisions?!! I am not the constitutional expert. What scares me is, this country will lose no matter who is elected next term.
@vkidambi1 He could've used the Bully Pulpet. That's what just about evey other president does when congress doesn't wanna cooperate, and I'm happy to see Obama making his case for the Jobs bill to the American people. The Consititution allowed Obama to raise the Debt ceiling on his own, but he didn't. Bill Clinton, who delt with a similar congress, told him to raise it on his own and he didn't. The reason the nuts one the House was because obama didn't take advantage of his majorities.
No No,,,I am on your side, I am not a tea bagger. I saying the same thing, there is some confusion here. My point is the same, Obama extended Bush's tax cuts, it didn't create a single job, economy has further went down. So, there is no justification for not raising the tax on welthy, country hasn't been generating the revenues, we can't afford to continue at this rate!
@vkidambi1 Okay, I get it now. It just angers me that we elected our current president on a huge mandate for change and he hasen't brought any, even though he had the majorities in congress to do so during his first two years in office and because he didn't do that, a bunch of brain dead lunatics now control the House of Reps and tore into our almost fillibuster proof majority, and rather than keep up the fight, he just stands back and lets them damage things even more.
your a fucking idiot both rossevelts were racist pigs and no one deserves more than 2 terms "give up the fight" ur just big fuck'n hippie he smoked to much drugs u loser im ashamed of these fags who are to afraid to do the right thing
@pennywisekilledme Go ahead, it'll be better once you grazy tea bagger neo con reTHUGliCON bastards are gone. You're the ones destroying it with your costly failed empirialist foreign policies, your costly failed "war on drugs" your tax cuts for wall street, oil corperations, and defense contractors, or as you call all of them "Job Creators" at the expense of the poor and middle class. You're probably one of those fucking dipshits that think Reagan was a fiscal conservative.
I must immediately disagree with your choices w/in the very first choice. FDR? You freedom-hating clown, FDR tried to pack SCOTUS with SIX more justices, because they said some of his programs were illegal. Yeah, you and he are real freedom lovers. PFFFT. If you are going to rank anything for the public, it is your duty to explain your criterion. FDR was not great for the US. He was great for himself, like kennedy.
Your rankings are pretty much a joke. Even the ultra-liberal 2010 Siena poll had Reagan as the 18th best president. And Carter above Reagan...WTF? Carter is one of the worst Presidents of all time...an opinion that resonates from both sides of the political spectrum.
@jaredabccrisscross I know, it's hillarious. What's also funny is that when they run for any political office, they run on the "accomplishemnts" of a guy who has been dead for 7 years (that guy being Ronald Reagan.)
Bring Lincoln down to like number 30. Push LBJ down to around number 35. Adams should be at like the very bottom. Wilson should be number 44, the absolute worst president we've ever had. Boost Kennedy to the top 10. Carter should be in the top 10, too. Chester Arthur should be in the top 5. Bring Calvin Coolidge WAY up. Lower Reagan into the bottom 10. Bring Harding into the top 5. Obama shouldn't even be rated, because he hasn't finished one term yet. Bring Hoover into the "Mediocre" part.
@ifhgsfj I disagree with you on Lincoln, he united a very divided country, LBJ is in the top half because of the "Civil Rights act of 1964," "Voting Rights Act of 1965," Medicare/Medicaid, and the fact that he passed more legislation than any other president. His economic policies were pretty good to. Kennedy is not in the top ten because of his Bay of Pigs invasion, which lead to the Cuban Missle Crisis, which brought us to the brink of thermal nuclear war. Continued......
@mr19932001 LBJ was elected through fraud. i will try to find the movie, but his campaign manager smirked and did everything but outright state they had ballot boxes stuffed, a common tactic of leftists (see ACORN, and voters like "mickey mouse").
@kenfo0 I don't have any evidence to proove you right or wrong, I have a hard time believing LBJ was elected through fraud because he won in a Landslide, but even if LBJ did cheat he wasn't the only one. Joseph Kennedy bought Chicago for his son in 1960 givng him Illinois and the Presidency and if it wern't for Jeb Bush and a Conservative majority on the Supreame Court, Al Gore would've rightfully been the 43rd presdient of the United States.
@mr19 I'll try to remember the film...it was a documentary by pbs or american experience. how about his "fake" silver star (he got one, but no one can really explain why)? SCOTUS was not the issue in 2000. Both bush and gore were involved in fraud in the state. it is not ok with me when anyone does it. they should be hung as traitors, quite frankly. No liberal EVER mentions the fact that gore tried to get absentee ballots (US SERVICEMEN!!!!) thrown out, because the votes wouldn't help him.
@mr19932001 The point is, no one who used fraudulent means to get in office can possibly be at the top of a "great presidents" list. I liked your choice of TR. Still hated by (R)s, he was a real man. Pretty sure he punched a congressman in the face. how can't you like that? Andrew Jackson...kicked the national bank to the curb. when a judge, went out and brought back a guy who was a no show for court...at gun point. Jefferson and Madison, with their concern that the govt be restrained...
@mr19932001 I am passionate about America. Today, it is en vogue to speak of real patriotism as a negative quality. I will state categorically that America is MUCH better than mexico, for example. Politics has always been an emotional topic, and, sadly, people are easily misled through lies and propaganda. It is EASY to go along with the hype, for example, that Kennedy was a great President. Based upon what? A flowery speech here and there? Pfft. Maybe I will make a complete list to share...
@ifhgsfj Jimmy Carter, morally speaking was probablly the best president we ever had; and while he had the succesful Camp David accords and a very progressive energy policy, he failed economically, granted the economic problems were more or less the result of Nixon/Ford, he was too stuburn to work with congress to fix the problems. As far as Reagan goes, he did suck, but he was better than G.W. Bush, and everyone else in the bottom 10. Obama is only ranked on what he's accomplished so far.
Carter was a puppet of the bankers and the rest of them, JFK was the last real american president who turned against the bankers and the global elite.
@ifhgsfj CARTER? CARTER???? Carter was an ABJECT FAILURE. Pathetically weak foreign policy leading to gas shortage/lines (i was there.), Iranian hostage-taking and fall to radicals who have fomented muslim terror from bosnia to iraq to the us. DOUBLE DIGIT MORTGAGE RATES!!!!!!! "but...but he was peaceful!". You said whatnow? Ever heard of East Timor? No? Yeah, go ahead and look into it. How about all his America bashing? Carter was a horrible, horrible president. Good riddance.
@ifhgsfj Kennedy? pffffft. A typical, pat answer for people w/a distorted view of history. A fraudulently elected playboy who rode daddy's influence and money to the White House, he was a drug-addled adulterer with a PATHETICALLY weak foreign policy (ich bin ein berliner? really? good, move there, because "das ist Amerika, jackass") which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Funny to see all the libs praise him, but hate the VN war....hmmm....I think he sent "advisors" there....
Your list is completely horrible. So many great presidents are pushed down your list and so many mediocre ones are pushed to the top. Lincoln, Reagan, Eisenhower, Jefferson, Washington, T. Roosevelt, Bush Sr., JFK, Nixon, Grant are my top 10. Check out the rest on my president ranking video.
@zdarkknight92 Grant was a good president, but his administration wasn't. HE had birlliant policies, but his inability to control corrupted cabinet members caused issuses in the governmnent, but I totally support the rest of your top ten except for Nixon for obvious causes, and Bush Sr. was alright even though i still applaud Bush jr. for his strong commitment to his policies which was the issue with Bush Sr. raising taxes against the republicans vote.
@zdark RAYGUN?? You MUST be joking. "but...but..he was a REAL conservative!". LOL. Don't know where anyone gets that idea.How is vastly expanding govt and creating jobs at mcdonald's "conservative"? How is illegally selling arms to islamo-fascists, to illegally fund contras (one of two-sides of murderous scum), then flying drugs into the US from Latin America with contras on board to raise money for cia activities, "conservative"? You have a fucked up sense of conservatism, like most.
Your list is terrible one you put Carter in average presidents and put Reagan who belongs in the top ten. I'm fine with Obama and Bush is higher that most of the worst since they ran corrupt governments compared to Bush's admin. Lincoln is obviously first then Washington, FDR, Jefferson, Roosevelt , Eisenhower, Truman, Reagan, Polk, Wilson top 10.
@TofuPenguin1 Reagan does not belong in the top ten. Keep in mind the eonomy got a lot worse before it got better under Reagan's term. Paul Volker, then chairman of the Federal Reserve, who was apointed by Jimmy Carter lowered inflation, and Reagan's economic policies are what brought us to where we're at today. Let's not forget Iran Contra, which investigations proove Reagan aproved of at least some of the wrong doings, I can go on and on. Reagan was one Iraq war away from being as bad as GW.
@mr19932001 He saved and economy that was ruined under Carter that eventually recovered. He brought the collapse of the greatest threat to US and through SDI gave us the advantage forcing the Soviets to meet on our ground. He took no time to react to the Libyan terrorist supports. The Iran Contra was an event that he had no knowledge about at all, the whole indecent was a mistake that they thought gave them the green light. He gave us the largest surplus with inflation counted for.
@TofuPenguin1 The surplus happened because of Bill Clinton, keep in mind, 12 years of Reaganomic caused the recession of 1990-91. The USSR caused their own collapse when they invaded Afghanistan, and a flawed communist economic policies was also a major reason why the Soviet Union Collapsed. SDI didn't even work, I give Reagan credit for the summit meatings, but some credit also needs to go to Gorbachev and Bush Sr. due to the fact that the collapse happened under his watch......
@TofuPenguin1 Continued.. Reagan also funded the Taliban to fight the Russians out of Afghanistan and he funded Saddam Husien to fight the Iranians while his administration was illegally selling arms to Iran to illegally fund the contras. Reagan was also the father of the economic policies that led to the crisis today, seeing how George W. Bush's economic policies were the EXACT same as Reagan's. He also granted millions of illegal aliens amnisty through the "1986 immigration act." Reagan sucked
@mr19932001 Get your facts straight we never were involved or funded the Taliban or Husien they rose to power due to support from local governments that had taken power from the National Governments after Carter refused to intervene help. He had no idea about the Contras incident. His economic policies gave us a gigantic surplus the largest in decades. His act reduced illegal immigration the following years improving jobs under H.W. and Clinton.
Looks like a list of STATIST Presidents to me.
