One of the top 10 presidents ever, easily. Vietnam is a huge black mark but overshadowed by the 1964 CRA, the 1965 VRA, Medicare, and the Great Society.

Decisions made by him lead to more deaths than any other President.  Easy HP.  Plus, by all accounts he was a giant asshole to everybody.

The Vietnam War's roots run all the way to Truman (possibly to Wilson if you count his snubbing of Ho Chi Minh; he was a fan of Wilson's 14 points, but Wilson told him that the 14 points didn't apply to non-Europeans.)

Nah. Lincoln is clearly #1 (though I can understand non-Americans liking FDR), while #2 and #3 go to FDR and Washington. Fourth and fifth are tougher, but I'd go with Teddy and Harry.

You never fail to amuse me with your comically backwards presidential rankings.

So you view most historians as being "backwards"?

He's a special li'l libertard. Let him have his fun.
