Post by: alloro on June 16, 2014, 06:05:45 PM
Obama has been rated as the 5th best according to a study completed at Texas A&M University. The Public Relations Office at A&M released this statement: "After only 5 years in office, Americans have rated President Obama the 5th best President in U.S. history."

According to Texas A&M, these are the results:

1. Reagan & Lincoln tied for first
2. Seventeen presidents tied for second
3. Twenty-three other presidents tied for 3rd
4. Jimmy Carter came in 4th
5. Obama was 5th.

So it's just based on what people "think" not on any in-depth analysis of the Presidents achievements or executive ability. Just a popularity contest. No one remembers Grover Cleveland or Franklin Pierce... :'(

I bet after 8 years in office he still won't be in 5 place.

As tempted as I am to chime in, some things are best left unexplained.

I don't see why people complain about presidents. They're just figure heads with no real power to change anything.

IMO it depends on the man. Those that were strong willed wielded more power than those that were pushovers.
