6. Harry Truman
7. Dwight D. Eisenhower
8. John F. Kennedy
9. Bill Clinton
10. Ulysses S. Grant

Grant is on there because I like him personally and his intentions as president. I think this quote sums him up well:"Failures have been errors of judgment, not of intent." Basically if it wasn't for the Panic of 1873, I think he could have been looked upon much better as a president.

Abraham Lincoln
Theodore Roosevelt
George Washington
Harry S Truman
Ronald Reagan
John Adams
John F. Kennedy
Richard Nixon (judge purely on the basis of his performance in office, his effects of The Presidency have been pretty bad, but LBJ helped out alot there, too)
Thomas Jefferson (same as with Nixon, I think Jefferson had a negative long term impact on the country in some ways)
Franklin Roosevelt

And just for fun, the the rest of my Top 15:

William McKinley
James Monroe
John Q. Adams
Gerald Ford
George H. W. Bush

I agree with a lot of this but I don't see why you rank an ineffectual pro-slaver like Pierce so high up.
