The "at least" in the thread title is offending me into not answering this poll question/considering voting no.

Fine, I'll remove it. 

Thank you.  I have a shrine to FDR in my closet.  I have also been known to, on occasion, ride around in a wheelchair and wear a monocle while chomping on a cigar.

I voted no because of Truman.  I think LBJ, JFK, Eisenhower deserve some consideration, though I (maybe anachronistically) put Obama higher.

We haven't really had a 'good president' since Ike IMHO, so no.

That said, of the post-Ike presidents he's probably the one I like the most. Hasn't committed treason (Nixon, Reagan), disgraced the office of the Presidency (Nixon again, LBJ), or (completely) sold out working Americans (Reagan, Bubba).  He also tells funny jokes.

That said, not super psyched about his view of Exec power, individual liberties, and due process. But he's a post FDR President, so I repeat myself.

This all sounds about right.
