President Barack Obama sat for an extensive interview with CBSs 60 Minutes last week, though it appears the portion of the interview actually broadcast on TV left out a statement where Obama essentially declared himself the fourth best president in terms of his accomplishments.
The statement was only made available online as part of the full interview on 60 Minutes Overtime.
According to a transcript posted on the 60 Minutes website, Obama said he would hold his accomplishments so far as president against those of Lyndon B. Johnson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln just in terms of what weve gotten done in modern history,

Why would they do that?
maybe someone at See BS noticed that their logo resembles a sphincter
Obama you are a fourth rate president
Obama is nearly correct: If he left Honest Abe off his list, he would be correct. The policies of LBJ and FDR have nearly destroyed this country.
Dear Leader, the Marxist Kenyan Muslim Usurper, self-proclaims his greatness.
And The Media swoons.
I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president
Washington? Monroe? Jefferson? Truman? Reagan? Coolidge?
Hell even TR!
Frigging asshat.
Johnson and FDR were better than Washington and Jefferson?
I don’t totally understand what obama is saying. It almost sounds like he only wants to compare first two years to other presidents. I’m listening and trying to figure out why JOHNSON would be on his list of top 3 presidents. Johnson was a disgrace. He declined to run a second term because he knew he would lose.
Maybe he’s listing the most accomplished statists.
Then, yeah, he might be fourth.
I give 60 Minutes a good solid D- for that one.
I'm sure O-blame-a worships him.
Someone should tell him he’s the penultimate President ever. With such arrogance and stupidity, he’d repeat it without looking up the word.
I swear...I have a collection of teddy bears who’d lead the nation better than this twit has.
Either that, or the idiot would chastise the person, saying there's no place in politics for such personal, mean-spirited attacks.
Jefferson is the most overrated president in US history. His accomplishments as president should not rate a mention in the top 10. That puts him in the middle of the pack.
Racist!
Barry obviously confused the words president and putz.
