A New Ranking of the Presidents

[Dr. Cynic]

You know, as for Polk. He is the ONLY President to accomplish everything he said he'd do. All four of his objectives were accomplished. I don't rank him in the top 5, but he did do everything he said he'd do.

Reagan is always ranked far too high. This is the same man who said trees cause pollution and to give the kids ketchup in their school lunches to count as a vegetable. When he said he knew nothing about the Iran-Contra affair, one would be inclined to believe him because he just wasn't a very active managerial President.

I always have a hard time with LBJ. On one hand, his domestic policies were good, in my opinion, but the Vietnam war really drives him down.

But the things he did were bad things.

Expanding into Oregon Territory certainly wasn't a bad thing.
