Scholars Rank Obama the 15th Best President even beats Reagan
A group of presidential scholars has ranked President Obama as the 15th best U.S. president of all time, a new survey shows, while his predecessor, President George W. Bush, is relegated to the bottom five.

Mr. Obama also has an advantage in the rankings over President Ronald Reagan, who came in 18th, but President Bill Clinton beats them both in 13th place.

The Siena College Research Institute's Survey of U.S. Presidents, which has been conducted five times since 1982, asked 238 presidential scholars to rank the 43 U.S. presidents on a number of characteristics.



lol

Mr. Bush's best ranking came in the category of "luck," for which he was rated the 18th best president.

I can't even laugh at the absurdity of this. No president post Eisenhower, JFK aside, should be in the top 20.

Edit: actually, post Truman, and including him.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1022207


Yeah man, look how awesome the past century has been. Two world wars, the Federal Reserver Act, the great Depression, Hiroshima/Nagasaki, Korea, Watergate, Vietnam, Cold War, Gulf War, Iraq War, dollar value plummet, incredible job losses, horrible medical industry, a gutted constitution...

Should I keep going here?

Obviously, not all of these were the complete fault of the presidents, but the absurdity of saying any of them did anything to prevent these, or good enough to earn them a spot in the top 20, is at worst, ludicrous.

Fuck the scholars.

Well heck ... he got the Nobel Peace Prize and he had only been in office 8 months!!

That MUST mean that he brought LASTING PEACE to someplace somewhere at some time after he became President

.... maybe somebody can clue me in on where that someplace somewhere IS ... and WHEN he brought Peace to that place.

You sir, should have been the 'educator' asked to rate the Presidents, not the boobs this shitcan school asked.

Besides, I don't think there is a top 20.

Maybe 10 good to great presidents and the rest? Epic Sellout Fails!
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef:

"The goyim were born only to serve us Jews. Without that, they have no place in the world - only to serve the people of Israel. Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi (a lord or master) and eat.

That is why gentiles were created”
