Although LBJ is obviously the best American president aside from FDR, it is to JFK's credit that he is the third best, and certainly far better than anything since LBJ.

I'm not saying that it is clear that FDR is better than LBJ, just that they are the two best, and it is arguable that they're tied or one a bit better than the other, but there would be no rationale for putting any others in their league.. well that is, assuming 'liberal' values.  Obviously if you oppose rights for minorities, workers, etc., then various Republicans would be better.
