Rank The U.S. Presidents of the last 98 years.

How would you rank the U.S. Presidents of the last 98 years, from best to worst.

03. George H.W. Bush
04. Ronald Reagan
05. George W. Bush
06. John F. Kennedy
07. Bill Clinton

11. Jimmy Carter
12. Dwight D. Eisenhower
13. Gerald R. Ford
14. Donald Trump
15. Calvin Coolidge
16. Herbert Hoover
17. Warren G. Harding



Most difficult part for me was ranking Presidents #7 through #10.

What is the criteria?

Rank the Presidents from what who YOU think was BEST to WORST, over the past 98 years. So you don't go back any earlier than Warren J Harding, and go all the way up to Trump. Its your overall judgement of each President based on their time in office. Who do you think was the best, then 2nd best, and so on.

#4 05. George W. Bush - defeated dictator who attempted to assassinate a sitting American President, improved duck habitats around nation.

#16 07. Bill Clinton - most criminally corrupt President in American History with scandals that revolved around him constantly.
#17 09. Richard Nixon - ended American involvement in the war in Vietnam, to prevent union dissolution by antiwar radicals. He was advised to resign due to criminal advisers who broke into Psychiatrist's office to get a rival's mental health history. Signed Roe v. Wade Act to law

Thanks!
 
The notion that George W Bush would be considered a good President, by any measure, is just breathtaking.

The mess he left behind was historic.

His entire list is hilarious... must have been on his 2nd bottle of hooch...

Obama, Carter, Grant, Andrew Johnson, and LBJ should be on the bottom.
You didn't even include Abe Lincoln.

PRESIDENTS OF THE LAST 98 YEARS! Grant, Andrew Johnson, and Abe Lincoln were President a half century before the start of this time period.
Why the last 98 years?
Why not the last 100 years? Why 98?

Oh I know...you wanted Obama to at least make the top 20!!!

Because 98 years ago is when Warren G. Harding started his term as President. If you said 100 years, you would only be including Woodrow Wilsons last two years in office.
I don't know what you're trying to prove with this....but it's clearly a waste of everybody's time.
How about starting a poll of the top presidents in the last decade while we're at it.
If one were to really want to know how everyone compared to everyone else, why not include everyone? What is the significance of just a set period of time compared to the rest of our history? One would think you're trying to manipulate the poll.

01. The focus is on modern Presidents
02. Its proven difficult to get people to rank just the last 17 Presidents.
03. Ranking all 45 Presidents would reduce the number of people who would participate.
04. If you can't make a list for the past 17 Presidents, how the hell would you be able to make a list for all 45?
 
PRESIDENTS OF THE LAST 98 YEARS! Do you know when George Washington and Abe Lincoln were President? I'll give you a hint, not in the last 98 years!

You need to do all presidents plus your list is still garbage lol.

Yet, you can't even put a list together for the last 98 years.

Says the guy who's brain washed

Can you make a list or not?
Are you going to compile them?

I've thought about doing that.

Saved the United States from potential Communist revolt from within the country. Communist Party of the United States had its largest number of members during the Great Depression. Monthly unemployment rates were not taken while FDR was President, but he got unemployment down to about 1% during World War II, which is probably the lowest ever in United States history. His policies saved the world from the AXIS powers and created a country strong enough to confront and deter the Soviet Union during the Cold War. In 2019, we essentially live in a world that was created by Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman.

Where is your list?

I just saw the thread...
One thing I like about your list is you rate Obama worse than Bush II.
I would rate Obama certainly in the bottom 10 for his administrations use of TARP funds. Unforgivable. Giving $100 billions in free loans to investment banks as late as 2016, who were making record profits and earnings is tantamount to treason in my book. Obama was a globalist/corporatist all the way.

Greatest modern President, may be the best of all time

Saved the US and then saved the world
 
#1) Reagan - simplified the tax code, fired the air controllers for striking, bankrupt the SU. Tough SOB.
#2) Truman - Stepped into a tough situation and thrived
#3) JFK - Bay of Pigs; Man on the Moon
#4) Eisenhower - Thanks for the highways.
#5) Trump - Its early. Economic confidence, embassy in Jerusalem, telling the PC crowd to shove it.
#6) WJC - Internet boom. One of the best public speakers.
#7) Nixon - Essentially ended the Vietnam War.
#8) FDR - New Deal...led country during WWII but also sent a ship of Jews back to Germany, fearing they were spies but sent them to die.
#9) GHW Bush - Liberated Kuwait.
#10) Hoover - Tough time to be POTUS...he supplied jobs not just free monies to the people.
#11) Ford
#12) Carter
#13) Obama
#14) Johnson
#15) Coolidge
#16) GW
#17) Harding

Not including all of them elevates the worst of them.

FDR was also one of the biggest racists as he locked up innocent Americans based upon race and he viewed the Constitution with contempt with his court packing scheme.

Then Congress had to limit terms for President to try and avoid all the corruption seen during his reign.
 
1. Jefferson is at the top of my list. He stood alone against the Alien and Sedition Acts that made it illegal to speak out against those in government. Imagine, they just got done fighting for such things as freedom of speech, yet they pulled that crap.

Luckily he was able to nix most of it, but what was left FDR used to imprison innocent Japanese Americans.

I'll have to think more about the rest of the list, but without Jefferson, the US would have been a far darker place to say the least.

Very, very few Americans objected when FDR interred the Japanese

Even the Supreme Court approved it
