The news wasn't quite as good for the latest addition to the nation's most exclusive fraternity; George W. Bush finished 36th in the survey, narrowly edging out the likes of historical also-rans Millard Fillmore, Warren Harding and Franklin Pierce.
James Buchanan — the man who watched helplessly as the nation lurched toward civil war in the 1850s — finished last.
"As much as is possible, we created a poll that was non-partisan, judicious and fair minded," said Rice University professor Douglas Brinkley, who helped organize the survey of 65 historians for cable television network C-SPAN.
The survey — which asked participants to rank each president on 10 qualities of leadership ranging from public persuasion and economic management to international relations and moral authority — was the network's second since 2000.
Hooray!!! Black America Doesn't Like Bush and neither do the modern day historians who are suffering though this current economic crisis that BUSH STARTED!!
We sure can pick some mayors though!!
