According to CNN, Texas Governor Rick Perry is ending his Presidential campaign and will make an announcement today {1/19} in South Carolina. This will narrow the REP candidates to four: Former MA Governor Mitt Romney, Former Speaker Newt Gingrich, Texas Congressman Ron Paul and Former PA Senator Rick Santorum. Any one of the four is vastly superior to the current failure in the White House.

Perry is just a cheap, dollar store knock off of Texas politician George Dubya, and we all saw how well that worked out the last time.

He won't go down as the worst POTUS ever though

Ummm... You may be wrong on that one.  GWB isn't rated the worst among All US presidents, but he is
the worst among all modern US presidents.

Worst Ever: A. Johnson, Buchanan, Harding, Pierce and G.W. Bush

When was that poll taken? It sounds outdated. Perry made a complete fool of himself with his foreign policy answers especially on Turkey. Speaking of turkey the one in the White House went to Disneyland. He didn't want a 91st round of golf?

Quoted Text
Survey of U.S. Presidents finds that experts rank Franklin D. Roosevelt as the top all time chief
executive. The 238 participating presidential scholars


folks love/hate president's based upon their lives and what is happening at the time and how they feel.....if they feel old and there is a young president in they may not like them...if they feel
young and there is an old president in they may not like them.....etc etc.....


39.Jimmy Carter 1977-1981

40. Ronald Reagan 1981-1989

41.George Bush 1989-1993

42. Bill Clinton 1993-2001

43. George W. Bush 2001-2009

44. Barack Obama 2009-

think about whay you were doing and why?

1. mid-life crisis
2. starting family
3. divorce
4. career change

etc etc........

the season's of our lives affect how we view a president.....the 'expert/scholars' assume they know best of what we need and if those president's 'provided' for us......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Senders may rank his Presidential choices by how he feels at the time.
The scholars in this survey used a different formula:

Over two hundred presidential scholars ranked the 43 U.S. Presidents on...
six personal attributes:
~background,
~ imagination,
~ integrity,
~ intelligence,~
~ luck
~ willingness to take risks.

five forms of ability:
~compromising,
~ executive,
~ leadership,
~ communication
~ overall

Eight areas of accomplishment:
~ economic,
~ other
~ domestic affairs,
working with Congress and their party,
~ appointing supreme court justices
and members of the executive branch,
~ avoiding mistakes
~ foreign policy.

based upon their scholarly views....not the regular joes views....I'm not saying they are wrong....I'm saying that the rest of us non-scholars basically do the quick litmus test....and I bet most
of us dont read/interview the historical content of our president that we have elected.....

we may feel bad about their choices because our lives are being impacted by more personal things and our elected leaders become a 'them'......and rightly so.....

some other scholars, 100 years from now will have changed the list to include -pleb surveillence without notice.....JK
