C-SPAN released a survey Friday that asked historians to rank past presidents and former-President Obama was voted the country's 12th best, right behind Woodrow Wilson and in front of James Monroe.
Historians were asked to essentially grade the presidents on items like “public persuasion” and “moral authority.” Politico reported that Obama rated high in the category of “equal justice for all,” but received low marks for his relationship with Congress.

Love it! Brilliant!
This must be satire. Oviously B. Obama is the worst of all.
Fake Historians, writing fake history, to be ingested by the half educated fake geniuses that believe everything the liberals tell them.
12th best by what metric? Were they trying to figure out the 12th WORST and he was the twelfth closest to that position? He was 12th best at being the 12th worst?
I doubt that Teapot Dome is any worse than Credit Mobilier during Grant. Sec Interior Fall was the culprit, there was never any indication that Harding knew about it.
All the others tied for rankings 1 thru 11
More Fake News
Right before Jimmy Carter? lol
Yeah Obama is 12th of all the ex-presidents still alive...

Here is a quote from one of them:
"Although 12th is a respectable overall ranking, one would have thought that former President Obama’s favorable rating when he left office would have translated into a higher ranking in this presidential survey," Edna Greene Medford, a Howard University professor and member of C-SPAN's historical advisory board, told Politico.The agenda is pretty obvious.
12th not first. . .are they waking up?
Cspan used to be fairly neutral. Not any more; if they lean any farther to the left, they’ll find themselves in China.
Thanks for posting. I was trying to remember how that went.
“Historians” that coincidentally voted for Barack Obama say Barack Obama was amazing!
