My current ranking of Presidents in my lifetime from best to worst, and acknowledging my conservative viewpoint: Reagan GWBush Ford GHWB Clinton Nixon LBJ Carter

My lifetime ranks these in order:
Reagan

Eisenhower
Ford
Kennedy
Truman
GHW Bush
LBJ
Clinton
GW Bush

Nixon
Carter
The spaces are intentional because none really are anywhere Reagan and the bottom two are absolute dirtbags!

Clinton's feckless foreign policy gave us 9/11. His zeal for foreign campaign money is what allowed China to build up its military, which may cause us major problems in the future. His administration was perhaps the most scandal-ridden of any in history, whereas GWB's has been one of the cleanest. The Clintons' belief in politics-as-war, and their getting the Democrats to abandon any integrity they may once have had, in order to help Bill survive the Lewinsky scandal, have polarized and coarsened our politics more than anything else.

The financial meltdown is partly the result of Clinton's policies.

The only area where Clinton excelled was in keeping his own poll numbers up. There's no way that GWB deserves to be ranked lower than Clinton.

You over rate the Democrats.

Kennedy was a mediocrity who screwed up in the bay of pigs, let the USSR build the berlin wall, almost got us into nuclear war, and got us started in vietnam. JFK was popping pills and doing mafioso girlfriends while wiretapping MLK. He puts the scandals of CLinton to shame, but never got caught because the press was easier to pay off back then and they didnt have drudge to blow the cover on it.

LBJ was the worst president both in terms of his failed 60s liberal agenda, his long-term destruction to the family and the econoy with welfare system, and his failures in vietnam, which outweigh the mistakes in Iraq by a factor of about 100 to 1. LBJ wiretapped Goldwater’s HQ in 1964 abusing the FBI illegally to do it; worse than watergate. He stole the 1948 election to become senator. LBJ was a callous vicious thug of a politician. LBJ also appointed one of the worst supreme court justices, who I believe had to resign for corruption.

Ranking LBJ above anyone but Carter is lunacy. He was truly horrible.
