What do you think? I'm not sure that I would rate him as high as 15th given that he's been the President for something like six quarters. And while I am fascinated with the subject of presidential rankings, I am definitely not a presidential scholar. For the most part, I do tend to agree on the rankings of his traits:
Imagination (6th)
Communication ability (7th)
Intelligence (8th)
Background (32nd)
I like it. Revisionist history flashing before our very eyes... as we sleep. And I thought it was a dream. Turned out to be cheesy greek columns.
Let me go ahead and revise again for you.... bottom 10, just ahead of Jimma Carter and Woodrow Wilson.
Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, was ranked at number 23 in 2002 — the last time Siena’s presidential expert poll was conducted — but has since dropped to number 39, qualifying him as one of the five worst presidents. Bush came in at number 42 — second to last — on issues such as handling the U.S. economy, foreign policy accomplishments and intelligence. (Warren G. Harding was rated the least intelligent president).
Bush joins Harding, Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce, all of whom have consistently ranked as the worst presidents since the poll started, in the bottom five.
Bush was ranked 2nd to last on Intelligence? Ouch !!! That's gotta hurt !!!
This seems to be simply rating his personality. I don't care about any of those criteria. I only care about the results a president brings to America. He could swear every other word and insult me at every turn, but if he brings progress to the country he is a good president in my mind.
Obama is a poor president because of the actions he has undertaken. His communication ability is immaterial in my mind.
And even his communications skills are questionable. Remove the teleprompters and what do you have? Communication is more than fine words. George Bush was inelegant in speech, without a doubt, but you never had to ask what he meant. There was no parsing of his words. Both friend and foe alike had no doubt about what he said. That's the essence of communication. The rest is frills.
Scholars take decades; if not more to judge the results of a presdiency. Just people deluding themslf that spin his history.Wanna believes.The reason it takes so long id they need to see what action result in what results and how it effects the future.

Kinda like the rubes love Obama tonite, but will they respect him the morning after. Or... will he respect them?
Well considering they gave him the Nobel Peace Prize before he knew where the nearest bathroom was to the Oval Office..it makes logical sense. Hey...let's just deem him re-elected...excellent dude
