Stop trying to make Dubya look good by putting the worst President together with the two best Presidents.

That's just compiled from Wikipedia rankings.

Real list is:

10. Clinton
9. Eisenhower
8. Nixon
7. LBJ
6. Wilson
5. Truman
4. Reagan
3. FDR
2. Lincoln
1. Dubya
There's a lot of problems with that list.  All those arithmetic values are arbitrary.  Is the gold standard really more important than whether someone supported Dred Scott?  Lincoln loses points for being a supposed "white supremacist" in spite of all his policies to the contrary, meanwhile Jackson and Van Buren don't lose any for supporting the gag rule against anti-slavery speech in Congress. And Reagan doesn't get any credit for lowering taxes?

Reagan doubled payroll taxes.
