Ford.  The only people that should be trusted to be President are people that don't want to be President.

He was by far the 'best man' to be president in the last 40 years, but not the best president.  He's tied for second with Clinton, and Carter is the best.

However it is important to remember we have only had decisively right-wing presidents for 40 years straight.

Well he was certainly the 'greatest', but not the best, the way I think of it.  Nixon was sort of the last of the greats, and was of course president of a greater country.  Even a genius/saint would still be saddled with a relative basket case nowadays compared to what Nixon inherited in 1969.
