I know Blessing some and Skleder a little. I did fill out their survey; it was lengthy and the PR folks apparently edited down the results to this. I would like to see the rest of the results, but have no idea if they could release it.

Blessing mentioned to me that he and Skleder would be giving their results last fall at a history conference and that they would be reporting on systematic biases they had found in the survey.

I know nothing about what happened but there have been no hints within the profession as to what he and Skleder said.

I just now went and looked up when they were assigned times to present the results of the survey at the Social Science History Conference. They were assigned early Sunday morning--that is called "burying a report."

Clinton...BBBBBWWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!

In the words of the late Jerry Clower, 'them professors are clearly educated way beyond their intelligence'.

Emperor Billigula #1?

Only in immorality, depravity, corruption and treason.

And Jimmah STP Carter runs neck and neck with him.

Ronald Reagan's honorable name shouldn't even be in the same article with those two scumbags.

[COEXERJ145]

This just goes to show what I've always known. The vast majority of historians are full of sh*t.

[sageb1]

If this is coming from university professors, then it explains the dumbed-down younger voter population.

[Amerigomag]

They asked historical revisionists, all with doctoral degrees and all teaching full-time at a college or university,

[yldstrk]

There is so much material to scandalize about .

[Wuli]

Read David Horowitz books. He shows how much the American Society of Historians is dominated by Marxists.

[microgood]

We are going to have to wait until the 60s generation dies off, then we can start rewriting all the history they wrote.

[ditto h]

Ya know I really miss that 17% mortgage I had when Carter was prez.

[montag813]

Who rates Presidents over a mere 25 year period? Silly.

[reagan_fanatic]

In a recent poll, more than 250 college and university history professors...

I stopped right there. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more solidly left-wing group than this. That they stupidly chose Clinton reveals much about their political bias, and as such, renders the poll absolutely meaningless.

[fortcollins]

A lot of knowledge is apparently more dangerous than a little knowledge. Clinton and Carter are without doubt among the worst Presidents in our history

[Finalapproach29er]

followed by Jimmy Carter ....

WTF????

10% unemployment
15% Inflation
20% Intrest rates

[zendari]

Clinton over Reagan? Uh, ok.

[stevem]

This could be more a tribute to the thinking process of such professors rather than a grading of administrations. It says right here that Jimmy Carter wasn'y any kind of a President, good, bad or indifferent in the last quarter century.

[AVNevis]

I remember I once read a survey of "historians" that ranked Reagan in the bottom quarter. What does this tell you? Historians are mostly libs.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Gee, it's such a surprise that the liberal university system would gush over Krinton. Most public school history books say damn near nothing about Presidents Lincoln, Kennedy, and Reagan but they have entire chapters devoted to Karter and Klinton, too. They're always busy filling the next generation full of crap and are succeeding grandly. Makes me sick.

[andy58-in-nh]

Bill Clinton was a great President...for left-wing academics, many of whom now inhabit the Federal bureaucracy.

[Lancey Howard]

In a recent poll, more than 250 college and university history professors

Har! That's where I stopped. I trust Wikipedia more than I trust that simple litter of socialist mice.

[gondramB]

>>Among Recent Presidents, Clinton is Tops With Historians<<

They only include the last 25 years - thats not very many presidents.
