I found this story<\/a> while reading Uncle J’s post about SSG Giunta over at Big Government<\/a>. Apparently Dear Leader Obama has been ranked as the 15th best President of all time by a group of “leading presidential scholars” (read: a bunch of liberal poly sci professors). Some quotes from the article:<\/p>\n

The Siena College poll, which surveyed 238 presidential scholars at U.S. colleges and universities, asked scholars to rate the nation\u2019s 43 chief executives on 20 attributes ranging from legislative accomplishments to integrity and imagination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Legislative accomplishments? If you call that monstrosity of a healthcare an accomplishment, but that was more of Pelosi’s doing and not Dear Leader’s.<\/p>\n

While he ranked high on traits like imagination (6th), communication ability (7th) and intelligence (8th), Obama rated poorly ratings on background (32nd), which was composed of traits like family, education and experience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How do you rate imagination? How do you rate intelligence? These are completely\u00a0arbitrary. Also how do you rate a President based on his family? How does that contribute to a President’s greatness? I despise Dear Leader but it is completely retarded to rank him as a President based on family background.<\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s predecessor, George W. Bush, was ranked at number 23 in 2002 \u2014 the last time Siena\u2019s presidential expert poll was conducted \u2014 but has since dropped to number 39, qualifying him as one of the five worst presidents. Bush came in at number 42\u00a0\u2014 second to last\u00a0\u2014 on issues such as handling the U.S. economy, foreign policy accomplishments and intelligence. (Warren G. Harding was rated the least intelligent president).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No surprise on GWB’s ranking, but again back to the ranking intelligence, how did they determine Warren G. Harding<\/a>‘s intelligence? None of these people were even alive when he was President so obviously they pulled that one out of their ass.<\/p>\n

Obama outranked Reagan in this poll. Again, anybody really surprised?<\/p>\n

This would be more funny to me if I didn’t have to rely on these people for an education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
