    Too bad he didn't see day 1001 of his term. Kennedy would have easily been a two term president.

    Most people, including myself don't know enough about every president to make a legitimate best/worst list.

    I do know Andrew Jackson was a pretty terrible person.

    Lincoln would be the most positively viewed president in our history. I think he's probably given a bit too much credit, though I'm no historian.

    In my lifetime, W. was the absolute worst, with Reagan comes in at a close second.

    Obama has been the best president and I think history will be as kind to him as it is to JFK.

    We can do better though. It's a shame Bernie Sanders won't be 45.

    Whoever passes single payer health care will be the next great president.

    I'm not sure I agree that Lincoln is over rated. And I think JFK may be a it over rated.
