Sorry, but there's something extremely un-intellectual about a supposedly academic group that uses criteria like "background," "creativity," and "imagination" to rank a President's success. Not a single criteria related to the actual President's JOB: understanding the economy and taking measures to improve it; reversing the accumulation of wealth at the top; addressing major structural problems like losing our manufacturing sector and the well-paying jobs that allowed the Middle Class to exist; changing incredibly destructive national policies like the one-sided "Free Trade" that will soon take us from the World leader to just another Third World nation; reversing the government debt that forces the devaluation of the dollar (and with it the wages and savings of every American).

So far Obama has not made a single move that was not acceleration of the failed policies of the past (including Obamacare, which entrenched the Special Interests in the Health Care industry and forced Americans to give even more money to these groups in both taxes and government-mandated purchases), and so even his high grades for creativity and imagination are about as valid as his Nobel Peace Prize for starting even more senseless wars than the war-monger Bushes.

Apparently even if our entire economy collapses under the present "President," he will still qualify as one of the "best" according to this opinion piece.

I doubt history, or the Americans left much poorer in his wake, will be nearly as thrilled at his performance.

No doubt his ultimate place will be at the top. Just incredible how he slaps around the GOP obstructionists to get things done. This after being given the worst mess in history courtesy of the Republicans and the worst president in history (Bush). Three years in, and already ready he's better than two-term Reagan.

Sorry, but going up in smoke are the GOP chances against this great president in 2012.

A thorn in YOUR neck isn't it? Your problem.

"CBS"............... there you go.

I would bet that most Nazis would nominate Hitler the best leader ever as well.
