He’s the epitome of educated elitism.

He absolutely should have kept the U.S. out of WWI like he promised in his 1916 election campaign.

No, there was a certain inertia that led to our entrance.
All he needed to do was wait about 2.5 more months. Russia was about to quit and without the U.S. on the way, France would have quit, and like dominoes, England would have pulled the BEF back to its shores.

He's a bottom 5 for me - down there with Harding, Buchanan, Carter, etc.

Eisenhower would be rock bottom on the list, according to my parents. He was mostly before my time so I'll have to take their word for it.

I think Ike was EXTREMELY underrated.

He instituted segregation in the government.

He was the wrong president at the right time.
He gets credit for being the CIC during WWI.

Where's FDR? Is he higher than the bottom 10? If so, overrated.

Seriously, the guy consistently ranks in the top 10 best U.S. presidents
I have to challenge that premise. I've been watching a lot of US History lectures on Youtube in the last 5 years and almost no one rates him in the top 10.
Maybe they did years ago but the modern historians don't seem too hot for WW.

Wilson was on another level and under his Presidency saw a Renaissance for the Klan which hadn’t really been around for two generations. He’s the most racist President we’ve ever had, and I’m including the slave owners as well.

The other school of thought was it wasn't harsh enough. Maybe WW3 didn't happen was because after WW2 post war Germany was actually conquered and occupied.
The other school of thought is retarded. WWI Germany wasn’t the fricking Nazis. How could you possibly justify dissolving Germany after WWI when France and Britain were doing the exact fricking things they were? Germany actively tried to destroy the world in the second and committed the biggest genocide in human history to the point of it being counterproductive. And go look at the Nazi tactics on the Eastern Front. And the mass human experimentation.
They just aren’t remotely comparable. Germany deserved to be dissolved after all that bullshite and the Germans themselves knew it. They were just happy the Red Army didn’t rape and kill them all.

He wouldn't make the top 40 on my list.
