It’s only been a few weeks since former President Barack Obama left the White House, but presidential historians have already placed him on the right side of history.
AC-SPAN survey of 91 historians and presidential experts ranked the Democrat the 12th best leader in United States presidential history — just ahead of James Monroe and right behind Woodrow Wilson.
Another Illinois politician, former President Abraham Lincoln, claimed the survey’s top spot. He’s followed closely by George Washington, with Franklin D. Roosevelt rounding out the top three.
Experts who participated in the survey were asked to grade the presidents on 10 different facets of their terms in office, like “Crisis Leadership” and “International Relations.”
Obama earned high marks for his pursuit of “Equal Justice for All,” ranking third in the category behind Lincoln and former President Lyndon B. Johnson. He also cracked the top 10 for his “Moral Authority” and “Economic Management,” ranking seventh and eighth, respectively.

Voters disagree.
Fake News
Only 12th? Racism!!!!!!!!!
There was a tie for the first 10. 44 to be exavy
BS
Lincoln split the nation in two and started the bloodiest war in US history. That’s #1?
Any list that starts with him is using middle school history as their guide so if Obama is 12, then everyone 13 and lower on the list is probably just a faceless name to them and they were ranked randomly.
These so-called “historians” are rank...
Historians are afraid to say the truth for fear of being labeled “racist.” If it weren’t for that, I have no doubt Obola would be ranked last.
PRESIDENTIAL RANKING
George Washington is first
Ronald Reagan is second
The rest, except for Obama, share spots 3 through 10
The 11th spot is vacant and reserved in case the nation is ever stupid enough to elect another democrat.
Obama proudly stands alone in 12th place.
Yeah ... right. Fascist Deficit Roosevelt ranks in the BOTTOM three, along with 0bama and Jimmy Carter.
That’s rigged!
Van Buren is only 34!
All one needs to know is historians usually are college history professor wonks.
The fact that they have Woodrow Wilson ranked so high says it all about these libtard “historians”
Barack earned the Bull Tossing Championship among INFORMED historians and he was never near a cow pasture or Rodeo.
They should at least wait until obozo is dead before they start rating him ...
What a subjective failure they are.
That’s the 12th best this Century.
I’d even raise that up to 10th best this Century.
See. I’m not racist.
Like below jimmy carter...
