    Rating a President for "luck" when he's halfway through one term sure seems risky to me. It's like saying "I'm having a great day at the track" after the fourth race.

    Rating a president for anything when they're halfway through one term seems a bit silly. Honestly, I don't even think we should be rating Obama on a historical scale just yet. It should be like the Hall of Fame -- wait five years after they're out of office to get a little distance and perspective.

    I could not agree more. Hell, Presidents dead for over a hundred years get their ratings revised all the time. Jefferson's place in history has been incredibly volatile. He's in a down period now because of increased examination of slavery and exploitation of women. When I was a kid, he was clearly presented to us as a hero.

    He used a thirty nine and a half-foot pole, Bob Goulet, that is.

    Johnson and Buchanan assumed office while the nation was in the process of cataclysmic social breakdown, ie the Civil War.

    Fatfuck was handed the keys (by Uncle Vlad) when things were running relatively smoothly. Pretty much all his problems are self generated.

    Did they reevaluate the Pharohs of Egypt to take into account the century or more of Israelite bondage?

    I disregard out of hand any ranking that has Johnson as the worst president. Johnson is certainly in the lower tier, but the dude was in a no-win situation. He followed the myth of Lincoln and had to deal with the Radical Republicans. Nobody was going to be successful dealing with that.
