Reading up on posts and stuff anre thinking about it again, I realized how many presidents there are out there that in the publics eye may be poor but may be ranked extremely high for what they did achieve.
The classic case IMO is Lyndon Johnson:
The guy who won in the biggest landslide in history in 1964 ended his run with just one term. He was brought down by the Vietnam War.
But that often masks how effective of a president he was - he was the master at getting Congress to work for him. Imagine one of you in his shoes trying to get the Civil Rights Act and Voter Rights Acts to pass when you have the Southern coalition planning to block it - the fact he brokered the deal and got a large overwhelming majority to vote in favor is amazing.
It's just surprising at times to see him in the top 15 constantly....
Okay now im just rambling facts
