Eisenhower? You're an old fart.

I don't think there have been any good presidents in my lifetime, I'd probably go with Eisenhower as the "best."

Nixon was the worst, and it isn't close. That's saying something, because Carter and the current Bush were awful.

I was born late in the Truman administration.

Carter was a close choice. Nixon was as much a socialist as any Democrat, maybe more (wage and price controls), but recognizing that we had to have some dialog with the PRC mitigates him just enough to push Carter over the edge.

I also think one needs about 20 years of perspective to really rate a President. I may not live long enough to get a true perspective on GWB.
