Happy Presidents Day

America's had some pretty awesome presidents, and some pretty crappy ones, too. According to Wikipedia, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt are consistently ranked at the top of the lists.

The bottom ten often include Warren G. Harding, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, William Henry Harrison, Ulysses Grant, Millard Fillmore, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor and Richard Nixon.

Personally, I would take Zachary Taylor off that list and add George W. Bush.

Presidents Day Rating the Presidents

On President's Day 2009, CSPAN has come out with its second Historians Survey of Presidential Leadership, and Abraham Lincoln comes in first again. The index takes the views of 65 presidential historians and ranks the 42 former presidents according to 10 "attributes of leadership."

George W. Bush comes in at number 36. That's pretty damn high for a president who started an unnecessary, preemptive war, ruined the economy, ignored natural disasters, gave tax cuts to his rich buddies, danced while the country burned. Maybe next year, after historians gain a little more perspective on the catastrophe that was the Bush years, they'll give him his due: last place.
