Mine:
1, 2, and 3 are in some order Washington, Lincoln, and FDR. A matter of taste, but the conventional top 3.
4 and 5 are our top two peacetime Presidents -- Jefferson and T R.
6 -- Truman gets this for dealing with the loose ends of WWII, setting up the postwar response to Communism, and making sure that America's response in victory was mercy instead of revenge.
7. James Knox Polk gets credit for annexing the southwestern quadrant of the USA.
8. Eisenhower. Getting America out of the Korean war gracefully, putting law against political advantage, letting Joseph R. McCarthy implode, and sponsoring the Interstate Highway System.
9. Barack Obama. The next great conservative President will behave much like him.
10. Wilson -- excellent conduct of American involvement in WWI. Fault: racism.
