Ranking the presidents

[borlandia]

I took the liberty of taking a bunch of surveys and averaging them out based on ranking. I got some interesting results, so under the cut I have the final markings and ranks of all 42 U.S. Presidents. (Don't forget! Even though GWB is the "43rd president", Grover Cleveland served two nonconsecutive terms from 1885-1889 and from 1893-1897, so he counts as the "22nd" AND "24th" president! So even though Bush Jr. is #43, there are only 42.)



1. Abraham Lincoln-1.60
2. Franklin D. Roosevelt-1.90
3. George Washington-3.00
4. Thomas Jefferson-4.50
5. Theodore Roosevelt-4.80

Harding must have sucked some fatty nuts

He gave away land for oil drilling in exchange for bribes, croaked in office, drove the federal deficit way up and didn't shave off any of the WWI debts, and was the worst public speaking president of all time. WORSE than Bush Jr.

Wow that is a pretty bad track record. You gotta be pretty bad to be the worst president EVER.
