1. Abraham Lincoln (R)
2. George Washington (F, would be an R if living today)
3. John Adams (F, but by today's standards would be an R)
4. Ronald Reagan (R)
5. Harry Truman (D)
6. John Kennedy (D) - for the moon push at least and first tax cuts in awhile
7. Calvin Coolidge (R)
8. Thomas Jefferson (D) - I hate some of the stuff he did though
9. George W. Bush (R) - can we count the first 5 years Smiley
10. Bill Clinton (D)

Intresting list. Be prepared for a Democratic barrage of insults.

Hamilton's right. Obama is basically a more charismatic Bush. Obame turned his back on almost all of his campaign promises, and just continued Bush's work. His foriegn policy is more or less the same route Bush took during his last two years in office. Just Obama didn't do anything that alienated the international community, so he is loved. As for the economy, they've basically done the same thing.

In fifty or sixty years, I expect historians to have this as their list (Although not myself):

1. Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865)
2. George Washington (1789-1797)
3. Franklin Roosevelt (1933-1945)
4. Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)
5. Harry Truman (1945-1953)
6. Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909)
7. Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)
8. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961)
9. Lyndon B. Johnson (1963-1969)
10. Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921)

Again, only my expectation of a historian's list in 2060 or 2070.

Thats 50 - 60 years from now, during which time we might have 6+ more presidents, any of whom could bump off some of the names on your list. 

Maybe in 60 years George W Bush will have his dream come true. 
If Wilson can make a list like that, why not Bush?



Yeah; I kind of figured. Wilson and Johnson will probably be bumped off in the near future, maybe Clinton will hit the Top 10.
