These polls are meaningless, we really need a playoff system to determine who is the true number 1. shouldn't strength of schedule be considered too?? |

Member 1699 | Subject: RE: C-span ranks 10 worst and 10 best US president's I think FDR kept this country in a depression longer than it had to be with his socialist agenda. I also think he could have prepared for WWII better. I would not have put him at #3. |

| Elite 3972 Reno | Subject: RE: C-span ranks 10 worst and 10 best US president's I clicked on the list of participating historians, did not recongnize any names, and then wondered why I thought that I would I know any historians.......? ETA: I am not slamming historians but pointing out a gap in my social circle.... Edited by bootygirl 2009-02-16 2:56 PM |

These polls are meaningless, we really need a playoff system to determine who is the true number 1. shouldn't strength of schedule be considered too?? Absolutely!!! I wonder is the civil war or WWII the tougher schedule? Clearly the civil war is a very tough conference schedule, but WWII is a brutal out of conference schedule... |

| Houston | Subject: RE: C-span ranks 10 worst and 10 best US president's I am really glad to see Eisenhower on the list, but am rather dissapointed that Truman and Kennedy both are above him. I am also surprised that Reagan is so low, but a lot of information about his presidency is still sealed. Then again I tend to look at success and failure in terms of foreign policy. |

| Houston | Subject: RE: C-span ranks 10 worst and 10 best US president's I think it would be interesting to see a list of most/least influential presidents, regardless if the influence was good/bad. |

Why Truman over Lincoln? |

| Champion 6056 Menomonee Falls, WI | Subject: RE: C-span ranks 10 worst and 10 best US president's Kennedy has got to be the most overrated president of all time. The guy created as many problems as he solved. Bay of Pigs was strictly his doing and basically led us to the Cuban Missile Crisis. He also led us into Vietnam and had no clear foreign policy for dealing with the Cold War. But he was a good speaker, had a fashionable wife and dreamed of big things that cost a lot of money (space program), and we've seen once again that goes a long way in American politics. |

| Champion 8903 | Subject: RE: C-span ranks 10 worst and 10 best US president's PennState - 2009-02-16 5:23 PM That's funny. I was disappointed that Eisenhower made the list... many failures during his presidency. Maybe, but building the Interstate highway system has to be one of the more farsighted decisions ever made by a president. Can you imagine the political and environmental boondogle if the same thing were attempted today? You can't even cut down a 3" sapling without some nut job worrying about the future of the wooly algid!

After seeing Frost/Nixon a few weeks ago, I've been wondering what history would've been if Nixon had won in 1960. |
