How I'd rate 'em (in chronological order)...

FDR: Bad domestic, did lead the country through WWII
Truman: OK on average
Eisenhower: Ditto
JFK: Ditto
LBJ: Awful, domestic and foreign
Nixon: Awful domestic, OK foreign
Ford: OK, short time inconsequential
Carter: Failure in every category
Reagan: Best pres in my lifetime, great communicator
Bush Sr.: Average
Clinton: Average, and lucky as well.
Bush Jr.: Below average domestic, jury's still out foreign

Anyway, it's time for FOOTBALL!!

Edit: I rate Bush Jr. low primarily because of his failure to veto any of the out of control spending measures that have crossed his desk, and a pox on the recently defeated GOP congress for the same reason. Bushes tax policies are good...

Carter did plenty of great things. The Camp David Accord, the huge solar energy program which reagan dismantled, SALT talks with the Soviets leading to a treaty and thawing out the Cold War, and Carter was totally honest and a real Christian.

Clinton, JFK and FDR are generally recognized as three of our greatest presidents who achieved the most and brought us the most peace and prosperity for all. FDR brought us back from the Great Depression which was caused by greedy rightwing elitists on Wall Street who robbed the country and destroyed the entire economy, throwing millions of Americans literally into starvation. FDR also beat your heros the Nazis and the Japanese, both at the sme time.

Clinton took out a major dictator with WMD with losing a single US soldier. And the only thing Clinton ever lied about was a personal private sex matter which never should have be investigated in the first place.

You have to be the most deluded person I have ever dealt with. WHo taught you this crap you believe in? Not even Anne Coulter would diss FDR and she's a neo-fascist.
