According to a Newsweek/Daily Beast poll of likely voters, Barack Obama now rates behind Jimmy Carter in the pantheon of great presidents. The poll asked likely voters to list the two best and the two worst presidents the history of the United States. Here are the tallies, based on net results:

Obama is 2nd to last with Bush the Younger in last place. I get pissed that JFK always gets in the top 5 in these polls even higher than the Indispensable Man, His Excellency George Washington.

At least Carter was an American. The bar is set very low after BO’s reign.

2] *** usurper communist

[DeaconRed]

Had to be likely (young) voters. Those of us that lived through the JIMMAH REGIME know better.
I still have scars on my knuckles from attempting to get gas at the local gas station.

[Psalm 144]

Perhaps a more accurate description is “less hideous”.

[central_va]

Lincoln? The butcher.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Carter is in a class by himself. The worst disaster ever. And that includes the current occupant.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Washington best ever, Lincoln second.

[central_va]

Ok according to this BS Klinton is tied with Geo. Washington. Also the people polled think I voted for the worst President in history, twice. Civil War II on the way.

[Sooth2222]

Bush #43 last? I wouldn't rank him among the best, but below James Buchanan? As SNAFUs go, Katrina was bad, but was it worse than the Civil War?

Maybe because it's Bush's fault that we've been stuck with Obama.

Somewhere in the world there are some Iranians running around without teeth because they said America would bow to Iran.

Good times.

Even Houston’s finest gave us a round of applause for that.

poll of likely voters, Barack Obama now rates behind Jimmy Carter in the pantheon of great presidents

That's exactly like saying hen-dressin' smells better than BS.

The people are idiots.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

JFK gets my respect for putting his hide on the line in the war. But he was a dangerously inept president. And the lefties who idolize him would be horrified at some of his actions and sentiments.

[Pollster1]

James Buchanan did a better job as President of the United States than the former junior US Senator from Illinois is doing in our White House.

[Netz]

James Earl Carter was a sincere, naive, sucker, fool ,etc., who MEANT WELL and tried to lead the country - without success.

Barekh Hussein Obama represents a clear departure from anything we've seen in the past. He is not sincere nor the fool but rather the pernicious steamrolling planner with or without the intent of either bringing about America's decline or eroding further the very foundations that out Founding Fathers set up for us on this day, 236 years ago.

May we take the Republic back in November 2012...

Do not mention the name lincoln in the same breath with Washington.

[Patriot Babe]

Yes not just beside being an American but he also ran a Peanut Farm. What has Odumbo run? He never even ran a lemonade stand.

[muir_redwoods]

JFK did nothing of note as president except stupidly risk all out nuclear war and bone Marilyn Monroe in the white house. Johnson moved all the civil rights legislation through congress and into law.

[Vigilanteman]

And in other news, farmers ranked the odor of sheep sh*t as less rank than pig sh*t . . .

[Sirius Lee]

JFK did nothing of note as president except stupidly risk all out nuclear war and bone Marilyn Monroe in the white house.

He gave Americans our Constitutional money back however briefly - U.S. Dollars backed by silver, not Federal Reserve Notes - and I believe he was assassinated for it.
