You probably shouldn't have included Franklin Roosevelt.

I'd rank them as:

1. Roosevelt
2. Truman
3. Eisenhower
4. Johnson
5. Kennedy
6. Obama
7. Carter
8. Ford
9. Nixon
10. Clinton
11. Bush I
12. Reagan
13. Bush II

Colored into the "tiers" I'd put them in. Bush II, for instance, is in company with many of the antebellum presidents.

Let me say this. I consider Truman one of the worst human beings for his dropping atomic bombs on largely civilian populations

The alternatives were:

*Blockade Japan until they starved into submission. Millions of Japanese citizens die as the war continues.
*Invade Japan. Millions of Allied and possibly tens of millions of Japanese soldiers and civilians die.
