Ranking of U.S. Presidents by historians

My fault I guess. Just pointing out that the ranking of Presidents is flawed depending on where you go and who you talk to. Others posted to argue my stance on why Lincoln and Grant should be further down on the list. But oh well, that's how these threads work sometimes. People feel the need to force those of us without the popular opinion into their large group of lemmings. Sorry, but I don't want to be a member of that cliche. It just leads to hypocritical changes when they eventually fall. Sooner or later the unpopular opinion will become the popular one and I'm gonna laugh when all these folks jump ship and join up with those they opposed for so long. There's nothing better than watching the Clinton two-step take place! It's become quite a popular political dance I hear!
