Quote from lolatBushites:
Clinton will move higher as we go into the prolonged depression. Any president who increases the size of the middle class is the best president. And under Clinton, the middle class did very well.
Presidents that put the nation and people above their own egos belong at the top. Andrew Jackson should be in the top 5 and Washington should be 1.
The ranking is being too kind to Bush II. Jr. should be near the bottom if not dead last. His policies and reckless actions ( based on lies and deceit) has pushed the nation into a death spiral. Japans lost decade x 10 is ahead.
Reagan should be closer to the bottom. The rankings are being kind to him because the USSR broke up under his term ( Any nation where being drunk is normal will end in disaster). The middle class effectively shrunk under Reagan. His policies caused the SnL crisis and began the history of huge budget deficits. He was a lousy actor as well as a lousy over-rated president. Reagan policies just like Bush II policies have bankrupted us.
However the buck stops with the voter. If voters don't get involved with the political process, the low lifes will take control. Bush II is a study in how a well organized religious fundamentalist group of illiterates can take over and control a tired and apathetic voter base.
