Best President Ever

C-Span published a poll of 65 historians ranking our Presidents in order. My first response was: Truman and Kennedy above Jefferson?! WTF?!?!?!

I'll give my own personal Top 5 here:

1. Washington
2. Lincoln
3. FDR
4. Jefferson
5. Teddy Roosevelt
Hon. Mention: George W. Bush. Just kidding.

It's also sad for me that the only US President Dickinson College ever produced is pretty much the consensus "Worst President Ever." I guess that's why you never hear him mentioned in Dickinson's recruiting literature.

That's cool that your university had a president though. I guess you'll just have to work extra hard and become the next president.
