Was Calvin Coolidge a good President?

[Citizen Hats]

When judging a pre-New Deal president, we should get down to the question of what the presidency is or what it was supposed to be.  It was not yet solidified that the president should be the activist leader of all aspects of the political process that we expect of the President today.

Near as I can tell, Calvin Coolidge was a competent administrator of the Federal Government, dispassionately cleaning up the mess that was left to him by Warren Harding's death.  His administration scores well compared the authoritarian chaos of the last years of the Wilson Administration, or the corruption of the Harding years. His adminstrations handling of the 1927 Mississippi Flood was widely lauded (though it certainly had it's failings).  He did that which a good President of the United States was expected to accomplish in 1920s America.   As such, whatever my opinion of his policy views (not a protectionist, et al.)  I cannot say that he was a bad president
