None of those things Mario is discribing are the job of government. If I had to rate Obama as a President, I would place him as the 5th worst. In my opinion I would rate them from worst to best this way.

#1. Worst President is Harry Truman

#2. Abraham Lincoln

#3. Woodrow Wilson

#4. FDR

#5. Obama

#6. G. W. Bush

A Whig is BIG Central Government, CORPORATE WELFARE and HIGH TAXES. Abraham Lincoln is the "Great Centralizer". Not hardly Mario. Lincoln represent BIG Government Republicans and BIG Government Democrats. In short, Lincoln is the Father of modern day STATISM.

Is this guy kidding?  He is measuring the "Greatness" of a President by his ability to speak and move people? This is by no means what I would consider being a 'GREAT" President but never the less how about Ronald Reagon, Bill Clinton and of course JFK? All these Presidents were much better speakers were able to move people much better than Obama.

The debt when George W. Bush took office was $5.727 Trillion when he left it was $10.627. The debt/GDP increased by 27.1% in eight years of office (It was 83.4% when he left office).

.

Obama claims that his spending is reasonable better than Reagan. He proposed 3.7 Trillion with a deficit of 1.4 Trillion for 2011. Currently based on usdebtclock org, the debt/GDP is 97.2%. Obama in two years of office increased the debt/GDP by 13.8%.

I think it's obvious that obama is the best president ever. everyone is thinking it, so we might as well start saying it.

Who honestly believes Obama is even a good president, much less "the greatest"? Reply 2 me if u do. Here's one example of his idiocity, idioticocy, idiocy, idiocociocity.... whatever (hey, i just invented 4 new words :P) He said if we dont pass his stimulus package unemployment will reach 8%. Well, we passed it and now unemployment has reached 10%. So, he then calls his package "a success". Uh.... FAIL.

Plus, he thinks we have 57 states...... xD

Close to being the greatest president ever.

That's quite an endorsement.

How strange that he follows the worst president ever. I'd say the two political parties have never been farther apart, one good, one awful.

People who are unable to tell them apart mystify me.
