GW Was A Bad President, But Not The Worst.



C-SPAN just relesased the results of it's Historians Presidential Leadership Survey. Leaving office, Dubya finds himself sixth from the bottom, with a score just barely more than half those of the top six.

Bill Clinton left office at number 21 (Which out of 42 at the time, put him square in the middle). He actually rose 6 positions since then. Surprisingly enough, George Bush Sr and Ronald Reagan also jumped a couple of spots as well.

And always, James Buchanan ranks at the bottom, never ever living down his inability to avert the Civil War, or to do much of anything else during his presidency.
