Every President has to be rated according to his times and then as who he was and what he represented. Ike was (as all humans) flawed. Having said that, he was one of the greatest men and leaders in his time. Most people on this site weren't born when he was around, they can be forgiven for not voting for him.

I like Ike.

[Tall_Texan]

Reagan now at 51% (my choice)

G.W. Bush at 34%

All others: 5% or below.

Consider this poll sufficiently FReeped.

Well, when I voted, Truman was first, then Ike, then Kennedy. It looked like it was done in chronological order. The default choice was Kennedy. I thought it was strange. Usually, the online polls default to the top choice if at all.

[N. Theknow]

Who in the heck voted for Jimmy Carter?

Well, it is the "world wide web" so I guess Arafat and he probably pinged North Korea, who pinged Daniel Ortega, who pinged Iran, who pinged.....

[BlueAngel]

Voted for GWB. He has gone through much in such a short time and has done an admirable job.

Bump!

[StoneColdGOP]

Another for Ike.

[Search4Truth]

My choice was G.W. With Regan a very close second.

My choice for worst, Jimmy "Peanut Brain" Carter.

[The_Eaglet]

I also put in one for the Gipper.

GW???? The Welfare-State Compassionate Conservative? I wish he would be more compassionate towards my paycheck.

My choice:The guy who did not get elected as he has the best record of not destroying the constitution.

[RightWhale]

The default for me was Ike. I had to look twice because I was going to vote for Ike and I know he isn't rated tops on everybody's list.

[dalmavs41413338]

poor Tricky Dicky not getting any votes...

[Nanodik]

He has gone through much in such a short time

Yeah, I would say he has gone through about a billion dollars in handouts since taking office. That's a lot for one man, having to tow along all those Republicrats in Congress....

[RightWhale]

Milhouse was probably no worse than about half of them, but he won't ever get good ratings. He did not end the Vietnam War in a timely manner, and he allowed the space program to die on the vine. Pretty major screw-ups.

Do we need to divide up his percentage?

LOL, You can bet that if she's seen the poll, she's already made it clear that 51% of those votes belong to her.

BUMP for the Gipper and the former First Lady.
