I would say most of the worst are the most well-known, while most of the best are the least known. I don't think that applies to the founding fathers as easily, though, since that was a defining event in US history.
One of the worst things to observe is the cult of personality that surrounds many presidents - people are practically begging to be ruled. |

| I can't believe Lincoln is even near the top. He was one of the worst presidents, by far. Scumbag. |

Obviously a slanted survey. They only have college professors pass judgment. No real surprise that both FDR & Teddy are in the #1 and #2 slots... they both confiscated HUGE SUMS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Teddy enacted the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management. These three government programs alone now hold over one acre for every seven in the United States.
FDR took us off the gold standard, breaking a campaign promise not to do so. FDR had government agents open safety deposit boxes and seize gold coins... leaving in their place Federal Reserve Notes (aka "I owe you nothing" notes). |
