1. Lincoln - Kept the country together/ Freed the Slaves.
2. Washington - Could have been King. Chose Democracy
3. Reagan – The Great Communicator Brought the Soviet Union to it's knees. Created 20 million new jobs.
4. Teddy Roosevelt - the first real free trader and environmentalist.
5. GWB – The Great Liberator Kept America safe from Terrorists Attacks after 9/11. Liberated 50 million hopeless Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq (Soon to be Iran)
Bottom 5
1. Woodrow Wilson - WWI was a horrible choice.
2. Andrew Johnson - Impeached
3. Carter – Soviets marching everywhere, hostages being taken, long gas lines, high interest rates and unemployment. Basically the worst parts of the Bible.
4. Clinton – The Great Fornicator Brought a 19 year old Chubby Intern to her knees, lied about it and was IMPEACHED. Then he was disbarred.
5. Millard Fillmore - As the Whig Party disintegrated in the 1850's, Fillmore refused to join the Republican Party; but, ins

I can't say that I completely agree. As far as top presidents go I would definitely not have GWB in the top 5. Also I would definitely not have Clinton and Carter in the bottom five.
Say what you will about Clinton lying about his relationship with an intern. His lie did not cost the country a single life nor did it cost the country nearly as much money as did another lie that was told to the American people.
There is an over whelming amount of evidence out right now that says this Administration lied to the American people in order to justify our invasion of Iraq.
Even if you were to ask the most Republican of Republicans who have been negatively affected by this war {i.e. son daughter wife husband killed in Iraq} this question:
Which lie was worst? "I did not have sexual relations with ..." or "There are WMD in Iraq"
I think you'd be surprised.

GWB the great liberator? More like the great divider. Not only has he created a civil war in a country that had nothing to do with the war on terror creating over 2 million refugees and leaving the country in ruins, he has completely divided the US.
And because Clinton lied about sex doesn't make him a bad president. He oversaw the best economy in the history of the US. And despite being impeached (political stunt used by conservatives in congress with nothing on their mind but attacking him- funny how you right wingers complain about the dems doing it now) he left office with a 65% approval rating (the highest among a 2 term president). Where does "the great liberator" stand? around 25%?
And why isn't FDR on this list? He should be above Raegon for sure- although I agree he should be on the list.

Nope.
GWB doesn't belong in the top five. Lincoln probably doesn't either. The civil war wasn't about slaves, he used that issue to his advantage.
Jefferson belongs in the top 5, as well as Madison.
FDR belongs in the bottom 5, he didn't bring us out of the depression, in fact he prolonged it. On top of that he increased the size of government, and created programs that were unconstitutional and socialist.
Wilson I agree with and will add that the Federal Reserve was a worse choice than WWI.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.
You have some generally in the right place. For example you have Millard Fillmore and Andrew Johnson about right. You did slightly better on the good ones with Lincoln, TR, and Washington. Way Way Way off on the others.

Reagan doesn't belong on the list as made our country debtor nation. Communism was already on it's knees when Reagan became President.
GWB -- Worst ever.

i disagree with GWB for so many reasons i can't get into it any more.
i agree with Reagan but he doesn't deserve ALL the credit for taking down USSR. many factors and many years were involved in that.
and i disagree with putting Clinton so low. there were definitely worse preseidents. Harding, Coolige, Taft.
lying about sex doesn't make him a bad President, just a lying scumbag. as President he accomplished some great things.

Don't forget the honorable mention of JFK for getting us into space and on the moon. Now if we only knew the truth about Marilyn Monroe I'd give him another thumbs up if the rumors were true.
