Johnson goes in another category, his performance is so mixed, he deserves to be in neither the best or the worse list. I'd consider that the same thing is true from Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton.

Lyndon Johnson was the president who worked Congress the best. He could get any bill he wanted passed.

Johnson did far more bad than good.

Johnson passed some of the most important legislation in America's history, that's why he is on the list.

How could you possibly say the Bushies are the best wartime presidents?!?
You think Iraq is a test of American power and strength?  LOL.  With all due respect to our troops, and my best friend is in Iraq right now, I'd say this conflict doesn't come close. Try the Civil War!  Try WWI or WWII!

Best wartime presidents:
Lincoln
Roosevelt
Wilson

Best soldier/presidents:
Washington
Eisenhower

Quote from: Richard M. Nixon on May 31, 2004, 09:17:31 PM
Foreign Policy - Richard M. Nixon
Domestic Policy - Ronald Reagan/Bill Clinton
Wartime - George Bush/George W. Bush

So on foreign policy issues, you liked detente (read appeasement) with Russia, letting OPEC ruin our economy, forfeiting the Vietnam War, and handing billion of dollars in trade surpluses to Communist China?
