"W" 7th Worst... For Now
Monday, February 16, 2009

It's way too early to tell where George W. is going to settle in at, but my guess is it definitely won't be 36th. His legacy probably won't be determined until at least the end of Obama's (possibly) first term, and it'll probably take longer. Only time will tell how favorably (or unfavorably) history looks back on his presidency, but I'm honestly surprised he's ranked as highly as he is at this point. I'm also shocked that he was actually ranked behind the guy (Hoover) that did absolutely nothing when the stock market crashed and the unemployment rate skyrocketed to 25% at the onset of the Great Depression.
In a totally unsurprising move, the surveyed historians ranked Abraham Lincoln as America's greatest president. Ironically, his term was sandwiched between those of the two presidents ranked at the very bottom of the list. Will G.W. Bush be the Buchanan to Obama's Lincoln? I guess we'll see...
