This Survey for Entertainment Purposes Only

The Hot Air blog reports a recent survey of American historians (excepting myself), which placed President Obama in 15th place.

In office for barely two years, Obama entered the survey in the 15th position – two spots behind Bill Clinton and three spots ahead of Ronald Reagan. Obama got high marks for intelligence, ability to communicate and imagination, but his score was dragged down by his relative lack of experience and family background…

The scholars rated Dubya a dud as a president, ranking him in the bottom five at
39th place…

Bush got docked for saddling Obama with two bloody wars and a recession, and he got low marks for “ability to compromise, foreign policy accomplishments and intelligence,” according to the survey.

Only Warren G. Harding, who was 41st on the list, scored lower in the intelligence category.
