Professors rank President Obama 15th best president - Emily Schultheis - POLITICO.com
You repost what is essentially the same article from a different source which provides no additional information concerning these "well respected experts" as support for the original article.

Fail.

Like there's a difference.

Here is the results of the entire survey in this PDF file:

http://www.siena.edu/uploadedfiles/h...20Category.pdf

It's funny how BADLY Bush Jr. did!

GWB numbers SUCKED right across the board!

Obama scored very highly in Imagination, Communication Skills, and Intelligence!

Bush scored almost DEAD LAST in Communication Skills and Intelligence, and was right near the bottom in practically every other category!

Sorry to disappoint you but the OP link wouldn't work for me so I googled the topic and wasn't sure what information was in the OP's article link. The point I was making was backed up in the article I linked---that it was a pretty big sampling of presidential scholars taking part in the poll.

Obama is barely through half his term and already these "scholars" are declaring him 15th best?

Ridiculous.

But I think they did to get it in before his term ends and all his failures are counted up.

And we all know these are just a bunch of leftists/obama supporters anyway.

By the way, the link brings you to a July 2, 2010 CBS News story. These "scholars" pronounced Obama the 15th best President after only a year and a half in office.

No bias there.

FAIL!

Ironically enough, conservatives were claiming he was a failure on 11/5/2008 but that's cool..I see, I see.

I see nothing in your link detailing a "pretty big sampling of scholars".
