Truman was the last great president. SInce then we have had a mixed bag of mediocre to terrible presidents. Obama could be a great one. Time will tell. We have two recent presidents contending for the bottom 10 all time: Carter and W. Bush. The elder Bush and Ike were decent but we could have done without Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton and W. Bush. JFK died before he could show what he could do and LBJ made a mess of Vietnam.
