In office for barely two years, Obama entered the survey in the 15th position – two spots behind Bill Clinton and three spots ahead of Ronald Reagan.

Obama got high marks for intelligence, ability to communicate and imagination, but his score was dragged down by his relative lack of experience and family background…

[T]he scholars rated Dubya a dud as a president, ranking him in the bottom five at 39th place…

Bush got docked for saddling Obama with two bloody wars and a recession, and he got low marks for “ability to compromise, foreign policy accomplishments and intelligence,” according to the survey.

Only Warren G. Harding, who was 41st on the list, scored lower in the intelligence category.

Full results in PDF form here. The One came eighth overall in intelligence, right ahead of Billy Jeff, and sixth overall in the category of, ummm, “imagination.” Reagan finished fifth overall in terms of communication abilities (two spots ahead of Obama) and third in “luck,” which I can only take to be a thinly veiled judgment that the demise of the U.S.S.R. after he left office is more coincidence than cause and effect. He also gets the “amiable dunce” treatment, placing 36 out of 43 in intelligence. But don’t take it to heart. This is obviously a poll of lefty academics, with only one Republican from the 20th century (Eisenhower) appearing in the top 15. How ridiculous is it? Number one in the category of “handling the economy” is … FDR. Somewhere, Amity Shlaes is smiling.

Oh, almost forgot: The requisite sanctification of JFK is in full force here too. He placed 11th in intelligence, just above George Washington(!) and 18 slots ahead of Ulysses S. Grant, who was not only brilliant on the battlefield but who churned out one of the great memoirs in American history (highly praised by Mark Twain, among many others) while he was dying of cancer. But hey — JFK looked great on camera, so there you go.

You can always tell a Great POTUS.

They're assassinated. Which means they're hurting someone powerful.

By your criteria, FDR was hurting no one, AND a crummy Prez. In 12 years, no one took a shot at him...But he WAS the greatest president - to Communists and bogus "historians."

But Ford and Reagan were shot at, and Reagan survived. A GREAT President.

Have you a premonition regarding the Commie-elite Kenyan Puppet? In his case I do; The PTB soon will find his mission to be obsolete and his existence redundant.

By your criteria

You have ZERO idea of what my 'criteria' is.

"In 12 years, no one took a shot at him..."

Presidents, February 15, 1933

On the evening of February 15, 1933, President-elect Franklin Roosevelt delivered a short speech to a crowd at Maimi’s Bayfront Park. Because of his disability, Roosevelt often spoke from the rear seat of an open touring car rather than making the arduous trip to a platform. When he finished his remarks, the crowd surged forward, but was halted abruptly by six pistol shots fired in rapid succession.

Five people were hit. The most seriously injured was Chicago Mayor Anton J. Cermak, who sustained a stomach wound. The crowd quickly restrained the assailant, but was prevented from doing him bodily harm by Roosevelt’s intercession. Cermak was loaded into the car and comforted on the ride to the hospital by the president-elect. Medical staff credited Roosevelt with preventing the mayor from going into shock, thus giving him a better chance at recovery."

NEXT, 8D

And note POTUS' shot at and the time. At the very beginning of their Presidency.

There is always an inflection from same.

And FDR was not the commie proclaimed. Revolution was at hand and shortly after that radical step of SS, FDR backed off, Depression continued,

until FDR cut off oil to Japan, broke their Naval Code and pulled all Air cover from Pearl Harbor, if you want to talk about FDR's treason. ;}
