"How we rank our presidents is, to a large extent, influenced by our own times," Medford said in a news release. "Today's concerns shape our views of the past, be it in the area of foreign policy, managing the economy, or human rights. . . . Lincoln continues to rank at the top in all categories because he is perceived to embody the nation's core values: integrity, moderation, persistence in the pursuit of honorable goals, respect for human rights, compassion; those who collect near the bottom are perceived as having failed to uphold those values." Funny, seeing how during his time as President, he was one of the most unpopular. |

And the fact we were left with a SURPLUS under his leadership, probably excludes him from being anywhere NEAR the worst of the worst in all the 200 years of America.
It kills me. Clinton gets the credit for a projected surplus yet congress was a republican majority. 103rd Congress (1993-1995) Majority Party: Democrat (57 seats) Minority Party: Republican (43 seats) Other Parties: 0 Total Seats: 100 104th Congress (1995-1997) Majority Party: Republican (52 seats) Minority Party: Democrat (48 seats) Other Parties: 0 Total Seats: 100 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 105th Congress (1997-1999) Majority Party: Republican (55 seats) Minority Party: Democrat (45 seats) Other Parties: 0 Total Seats: 100 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 106th Congress (1999-2001) Majority Party: Republican (55 seats) Minority Party: Democrat (45 seats) Surpluses are nice, but it's the debt that matters. |
