So much for this boards fantasy of him being the worst. The experts have spoken.

Historians have ranked Barack Obama the 12th best president of all time, the highest rated since President Ronald Reagan, in a new C-SPAN survey released Friday.

Less than a month after exiting the White House, Obama received high marks from presidential historians for his pursuit of "equal justice for all" and for his commanding "moral authority," ranking third and seventh among all former presidents in each respective category. The 44th president also cracked a top 10 ranking for his "economic management" and public persuasion.

His lowest marks came from losing congress and the republicans being bitches

It appears Libs have settled the science on yet another issue. No need to explore this any further in the future.

anyone who tries to rank a President right after his term is an idiot, need to wait 20 years to see all the outcomes of time in office, at least.

Zero intellectual honesty here.

He increased the national debt more than any other president, he presided over the sloweSt economic recovery ever, his signature pieces of legislation were all failures, his foreign policy is mocked...

I could go on.

"Experts" aka liberal college professors

Did the 11 presidents above him oversee the decimation of their parties at all levels of government, and their handpicked successor losing to a reality tv star?

Valid points all, but did you know he was black?

Obviously, they aren't using the base 10 counting method.

There certainly have been worse. Obama is well below average. That historians would not recognize the tepid nature of his Presidency contrasted with a potential sea change of possibility, speaks poorly of those surveyed. Nonetheless, the assessment is highly premature based on emerging information.

If Obama is shown to have surveilled opponents for political purpose, it will drop him to near bottom.

He had to rebuild the fricking economy GWB destroyed. Of course there's going to be debt and Trump is going to make it worse.

So by 'equal justice', does that mean dividing the country he is supposed to be leading? Taking immediate sides without evidence provided? Is Roger Goddell on this committee?

And does 'moral authority' include all the brown people he bombed while in office? What about the people killed in his fast and furious gun program? Iran's nuclear threat remains to be seen. Will he still get good 'moral authority' marks if Iran kills people with a WMD?

You do realize that most 'historians' are a bunch of useless,liberal arts professors siting in an office somewhere hid out from the realities of life?
