Last year, there was a poll of the American people ranking the Presidents. Reagan was Number One - as WF Buckley once said, “I would rather be ruled by the first one hundred names in the Boston phone book than by the Harvard faculty.”

RE: FDR
Did they give their reasons why?
To: 7thson
Why was Lincoln #1?
Because he waged war to prevent free men from leaving a Union they voluntarily joined?

All FDR basically did was continue the policies already initiated by Hoover.

FDR was the most overrated president ever. His policies prolonged, not shortened the great depression. Even his much praised leadership in World War II did, in the end, do little but turn Russia from a backwater minor power into a Superpower.
The rehabilitation of Japan, for instance, was due almost entirely to MacArthur's leadership and the resiliency of the Japanese people and had nothing to do with FDR and his successors other than getting out of the way long enough so MacArthur could accomplish what he did.

Actually, he out-Hoovered Hoover by a magnitude of 10 or more.

And Hitler, by basically leaving every industrialized nation, other than the US, completely destroyed. The US was the only industrialized nation standing after the war.

From what I remember on the subject the depression ended because the New Deal had run its course with regards to money being spent and courts overturning FDR’s “laws” before WWII broke out.

George Washington should always be ranked #1 out of respect and by default. There is no question he was the greatest president bar none.

I bet Coolidge wasn’t there either, but of course did BJ get a rank?

Did they give their reasons why? As you can probably guess, the narrator cited the New Deal and WWII.
To: LucianOfSamasota
Because he waged war to prevent free men from leaving a Union they voluntarily joined?When I tell people that they look at me like I just landed from another planet. What is it about the 10th amendment that is so difficult for people to understand?
The federal governments powers are listed to those 17 things listed in the Constitution.
