Thought this might be fun in honor of Presidents Day this week. I found a list of America’s favorite (and not so favorite) Presidents. We heard a lot about how wonderful JFK, Lincoln and Reagan were during the campaigns last year. Btw, Obama was excluded from this list but is operating the new administration with a 68% approval rating so far!
Anyway, take a look at the lists and sound off is these prezes are deserving to be on either list. Side note: the day President Bush left office, he had 88% dissapproval rate and has landed at #7 on the “worst” list! Man.. I will miss the infamous press conferences from the White House and those hilarious Bush-isms though!
The ten BEST presidents are:
#10.) Ronald Reagan: 40th president; served from 1981 to 1989
#9.) Woodrow Wilson: 28th president; served from 1913 to 1921
#8.) Dwight D. Eisenhower: 34th president; served from 1953 to 1961
#7.) Thomas Jefferson: 3rd president; served from 1801 to 1809
#6.) John F. Kennedy: 35th president; served from 1961 to 1963
#5.) Harry S. Truman: 33rd president; served from 1945 to 1953
#4.) Theodore Roosevelt: 26th president; served from 1901 to 1909
#3.) Franklin D. Roosevelt: 32nd president; served from 1933 to 1945
#2.) George Washington: 1st president; served from 1789 to 1797
#1.) Abraham Lincoln: 16th president; served from 1861 to 1865
–And the ten WORST presidents are:
#10.) Rutherford B. Hayes: 19th president; served from 1877 to 1881
#9.) Herbert Hoover: 31st president; served from 1929 to 1933
#8.) John Tyler: 10th president; served from 1841 to 1845
#7.) George W. Bush: 43rd president; served from 2001 to 2009
#6.) Millard Fillmore: 13th president; served from 1850 to 1853
#5.) Warren G. Harding: 29th president; served from 1921 to 1923
#4.) William Henry Harrison: 9th president; served from March 4th, 1841 to April 4th 1841 (– Harrison’s ranking isn’t very fair . . . considering he died after just 32 days in office.)
#3.) Franklin Pierce: 14th president; served from 1853 to 1857
#2.) Andrew Johnson: 17th president; served from 1865 to 1869
#1.) James Buchanan: 15th president; served from 1857 to 1861
