there were five objective greats: both Roosevelts,
Wilson, Johnson and Reagan. I would rank Reagan #2,
behind FDR. Normatively, I don't like much that FDR
did at all, but there is no disputing that he did it,
and changed the political landscape in fundamental,
enduring ways.

I can't imagine any serious person putting LBJ on a list of great
Presidents. Wilson is a bit of a stretch too.

Oh? I guess that means the legion of Republicans who regard FDR as a
traitor and sneer that the New Deal "failed" aren't really conservatives?

Great presidents of the last Century?
Wilson
FDR
Harry S Truman
JFK
Bill Clinton
Nixon might have been among the greatest, had he not ****ed up so
royally. He was one smart cookie. Nixon dead has a more jagged brain
wave than Dubya, who is as close to a flatliner as any many alive.
