Dude, I really can't agree with you here.  Ford was a relatively bland president, who didn't make a lot of bold moves.  He was basically a caretaker whose main job was to heal the country and make as few waves as possible.  That's what the time called for.

Agree or disagree, Bush has made bold moves.  That's why I say he could be great, terrible, or strongly mixed, but never average.

It was that by default. There was no option for good but not great. He's somewhere between Reagan and Ford right now, maybe right by Nixon. If Iraq succeeds and he can get some of his domestic package passed, he jumps up into Reagan territory.

I also think highly of FDR. Top five Presidents at least, maybe top three with Reagan and Jefferson.
