SPEAKER CORNER (Obama & Trump presidential rankings)
Every year 200 Social Scientist rank the Presidents in a Bi partisan way) The top 7 GREAT presidents are not likely to change but the middle and the bottom Presidents change slightly every year. The big reason why those change at all is, because we have a new president doing their thing every year. Let me give you a quick glimpse at those 7 great presidents ranked in order.
1. Lincoln
2. Washington
3. FDR
4. Teddy Rosevelt
5. Jefferson
6. Truman
7. Eisenhower
In this year ranking 1-45, 1 being best, the one who took the biggest hit was Clinton and the one who gained the most was president Obama. They did this for the same reason, "President Trump!!" Trump has to blame someone for his failures (it's never his fault) and his 2 biggest whipping boy and girl are the Clinton's. Which did cost Bill a few positions in ranking. On the other hand, because the Trump Presidency is drowning in scandal. That caused the Social scientist to re evaluate Obama's presidency and give it a higher ranking.
When Obama first left office, I believe he got a ranking of 11 or 12 which is pretty darn good!!! Now that we've had 1 full year under President Trump, which if you said he has a scandal a week that would be an under statement!! So I guess the Social Scientist thought by comparing 2 presidents that were back to back. (it gave a truer comparison because the times were same)
Are you ready for this???
Obama is now ranked 8th on the all time presidential ranking!! Holly crap!!! He is now in the "near great status!!" Obama is now ranked higher then even Saint Reagan, Polk, Jackson, Kennedy and Johnson. Which makes him now in pretty good company!!! (I guess that expression of no-drama-Obama is paying dividends)
Which brings me up to my next point.
What happened to the Tea party now that Obama is no longer President??? (it is gone for all intense of purposes) It looks like it came into existence, only to confront Obama the first 1/2 Black president. What about on this board?? I can't tell you how many times I heard members say, "Obama is the worst president period!!" Either those people didn't know their "you know what" from a hole in the ground in politics. Or as some members who are currently still on this board would say, "maybe racism had something to do with their thinking!!" Figures don't lie, so Obama's number 8th ranking, is nothing to sneeze at. Maybe he did deserve that Noble Peace Prize after all!!! lol
I should like to say a few things about Trump.
I know he has only completed his first full year as President. (So he could have a miracle comeback in the next 3 years) But as of now, he is ranked "DEAD LAST IN RANKING." Good ole number 45!!! Trump has so far, beat out President Buchanan as the worst president ever!!!! So all those board members on here who said, "Obama was the worst president ever." The Guy you voted for next, really is the worst president ever!!! (You guy's were just 1 president too early in making your call) I hope the color of Obama's skin, didn't cloud your peoples judgement!!!
Obama is near great at number 8!!!!
