Barack Obama has been whisked to a very good table at
the club of former presidents , according to a C-SPAN
survey of 91 presidential historians published on Friday.
Obama’s 12th-place ranking only a month after leaving
office is the best for any president since Ronald Reagan,
who ranks ninth in the new survey. The list updates
previous C-SPAN surveys compiled in 2009 and 2000.
Historians gave Obama high marks for pursuing equality,
managing the economy, public persuasion and “moral
authority.” On the other hand, he was judged to have been
below-average in handling international relations. Overall,
he placed ahead of such generally well-regarded chief
executives as James Monroe and James Polk.

History’s view of the best and worst presidents was
unchanged since 2009. The top spot once again went to
Abraham Lincoln — the quintessential self-made man who
saved the Union, emancipated the slaves, and launched
the Transcontinental Railroad. He ranked no lower than
fourth in all ten of the criteria by which presidents were
judged. He finished first in crisis leadership, administrative
skill, vision setting, and pursuit of equal justice; second in
economic management, moral authority, and
“performance within the context of the times”; third in
public persuasion and international relations; and fourth in
working with Congress.
Lincoln was followed by George Washington, with the two
Roosevelts — Franklin and Theodore — in third and fourth
place. The bottom spots went to the men who served just
before and just after Lincoln: James Buchanan and
Andrew Johnson.
“Once again the Big Three are Lincoln, Washington and
FDR — as it should be,” said one of the shepherds of the
survey, Douglas Brinkley of Rice University in Houston.
“That Obama came in at number 12 his first time out is
quite impressive,” Brinkley added.

But Howard University historian Edna Greene Medford,
another of C-SPAN’s consultants on the project, thought
Obama might have ranked even higher. She was surprised
to see him in the middle of the pack for administrative
skills, and thought that his rapidly rising approval ratings
during the last months of his administration might give
him more of a boost. “Of course,” Medford said,
“historians prefer to view the past from a distance, and
only time will reveal his legacy.”
No one better illustrates that point than the 18th president,
Ulysses Grant. In 2000, the scandal-plagued Grant was
ranked in the bottom quarter of all presidents. But history
has recently taken note of Grant’s personal honesty, his
commitment to human rights and his international
popularity. In the new survey, he continues his upward
climb, now finishing right in the middle of the pack.
According to Richard Norton Smith, an independent
scholar who also consulted with C-SPAN on the project,
the survey clearly identifies a “golden age of the American
presidency.” This era begins with the inauguration of
Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 and ends in the tumultuous late
1960s. All five presidents who served during that span
wound up in the top ten: FDR (3), Harry Truman (6),
Dwight Eisenhower (5), John F. Kennedy ( and Lyndon
Johnson (10).
That might surprise many of the Americans who lived
through those presidencies. They might recall Truman’s
record-low approval ratings — his 22% favorable mark in
February 1952 is the lowest in the history of the Gallup
poll. They may remember that Eisenhower was widely
dismissed as a plodder; a poll of historians shortly after
he left office ranked him slightly below average. And
Johnson opted not to run for reelection rather than face
almost certain defeat.
Thomas Jefferson, in seventh place, rounds out the top
ten.
Meanwhile, other presidents are falling in history’s
estimation. Andrew Jackson, the 19th century populist
whose portrait occupies a place of honor next to Donald
Trump’s desk in the Oval Office, plunged five places since
the 2009 survey, from 13th to 18th. Woodrow Wilson, who
ranked sixth in the 2000 survey, dropped to 11th, as the
post-World War I map of the Middle East that Wilson
helped to draw crumbled into anarchy, and historians
placed new emphasis on his atrocious civil rights record.

Wow! that's pretty good. Not bad for a guy with no previous executive experience.

However, the guy fall my hand big time when it came to foreign policy. He was so indecisive and made America look weak especially in the Syria issue. Either way sha, i doubt if Trump will ever be as good as he is.

rheether:
And get what In return?

Uhm, you no for read ma'am?

Yaaay!!!!! Everybody look at me I am a celebrity and very important.

GreatZaza:
why won't this anti corruption agencies have their own career lawyers, why won't they recruit from graduates and groom them as efcc lawyers. why must they be paying outside lawyers.
vote me come 2023, I am just in my early twenties there are lots of things we the youth have to correct either diplomatically or with brute force.
Mr Zaza for president 2023

Gbam! Someone who finally gets it. That's how the justice dept works in yanki. They hire the very best that They can find.

Even the FBI too is so good that it they bring a case against you it's almost as good as you being convicted already because they have around a 96% conviction rate. In other words, if they nab you then you are in biiiiiig trouble and it's because they take their time to do very thorough investigations. Some even take years. Look how they brought down the mafia, drug barons or recently, FIFA and currently they are even investigating the President of there own country, Donald Trump and his associates also. Now compare that to the EFCC. If I were Buhari, I would go look for former FBI directors to come and run the EFCC or the DSS cos it looks like those guys don't know how to conduct a proper investigation.

sammyj:
Baba made my day. My own take is either EFCC lacks the man power as reported or they just sold off this cases for political reason!!!

Or they failed to hire the very very best.

AntiWailer:
I have said this in several posts.

The lawyers are very incompetent.

Most of the cases they are losing are on technical ground.

That's what happens when you don't hire the best of the best.

kingphilip:
There are some people that gives advices and I'm like seriously?? Even you

The fight against corruption have been lost due to inadequate investigation to prove beyond reasonable doubts..

There's no way your claim will carry substance and it won't be evident that the judge is bias

Do your homework well and you'll be sure of amazing results

How will they even carry out weighty investigation when they're corruption ladened??

My brother I tire o. In yanki, the FBI in contrast has around a 95% conviction rate which mean say if they bust you, it is almost impossible to win the case because there investigation is so thorough eh? Even the super wealthy criminals still get convicted in the court of law.

The look on her face is priceless.

madridguy:
See power of Unity.

United we stand. Just look at how the guy is tied like an animal simply because of documents.

God alone will judge our leaders.

My brother, if Nigerians truly understood the power of a United Naija eh?

RealHaute:
You can't like an employee's post again? I do it all the time. No biggie. And the Roseline girl isn't really attractive. She's 'just there'; not a natural beauty.

What?!?!?!?!? and you are proud to say that. You are lucky you are in naija where almost anything goes. Go to a developed country in the west and try that nonsense and see if people don't lose respect for you?

zinachidi:
somebori cannor like a picture in peace again in this kantry?

But that's not professional. You are her boss for goodness sakes. What kind of working relationship is that? Abi na how una dey do things for una work place be that?

TunezTV:
The Internet has an all seeing eye, and even when you think nobody is watching still beware of world people.

Olakunle Churchill, the husband of Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh who got accused of domestic violence and also accused of cheating on his wife with another actress Rosy Meurer has poured petrol on the fire that has been threatening to consume him for weeks.

Mr Churchill was caught liking comments on Rosy's page and a screenshot got the businessman on one particular comment that had kisses and love emojis with the words, 'Cutie Cutie'

Before you come to his defense by stating they are co workers since she works in his company...blah,blah,blah, take note that he knows Rosy is getting accused for his failed marriage and he is all up in her page liking lovey dovey comments...hian!!

http://www.tunezmediablog.com/2017/04/olakunle-churchill-nabbed-admiring.html

How unprofessional! Isn't he her boss? or aren't they supposed to have a strictly professional relationship?

marquiseT:

Because a white man says something does not make it true



I don't know why they make it feel like whatever they say is unquestionable





Who knows the dude anyways,


his opinion does not count,he is a confused being




Msteew!

Neither does it make it a lie.

ukukaegbu:
So wrong.

I've been using the ATM for over 8 years and more than 1,500 times and I've never received the wrong amount of money from the ATM.

Now, this guy is saying that within two days, the machine dispensed the wrong amount of money 3 times. Abi ATM dey look face?

He should go and sit down.

The fact that you never experienced it does not mean it never happened to someone else.

wurabecca:
When I was young Dora is my greatest mentor, like I wanted to be like her...but all dreams were tattered. Not that tattered, but this godfatherism and godmotherism pulled everything back.

Seriously, I wish to become this notable politician, but here in Nigeria, if you ain't a relation or friends of Tinubu, Amechi, Obasanjo or Gogara...it's a No No.

Do you have the dreams too? Like what do you think and how can one get outta this CONNECTION thing?

Cc Becca

So how are you preparing for your future career in politics?

Zukerberg:
Or president?

Probably. As long as he has the integrity, the ability to unite and inspire the people and if he is not afraid to make the tough decisions that keep a lot of people awake at night then good luck to him.

Olu317:
Truthfully ,had it been that these view of yours is tenable in Nigeria, why not? But the reality is that we are unworkable entity. Why do I believe this? The core North don't believe in allowing the less privileged to be educated because at a tender age they have been made as almajiris. Only the noble are educated. Some people armed some of their people at the detriment of others. And still monopolize violence. Where in the history have you seen a state divided into two and one state still maintain 44 local government? It is only in Nigeria. They don't want federal system of government where the power will rest at the state level while check and balance is effective. They want unitary System as it stand. Nigeria is not workable. I tell you the truth. Is it the religion aspect? Just some few days ago, there was an information on meningitis, and one man claimed it was God. Can you imagine in. the 21st centuries? While the Emir of Kano was making reference to cause of the disease. And here we are, one man claiming it was From God. And if you try to educate some of them,your opinion is yours as it stand. They are not tolerant in the core North as it concerns religion. Do you expect such nation to thrive? when one part believe in Islamic ideology while others believe in a Secular state. In Northern part, do they dress formal as they do in the Southern part to work? Go and do. your finding on how government worker's (civil servants) dress code. You will understand.

Nigeria is very workable. All it needs is good leadership and this is something we have probably never had in out entire history.

A leader unites people and inspires them to live up to an ideal (John F. Kennedy anyone). He pushes them to climb up higher and overlook there petty tribal differnces. He also shares his vision and rallies the people to come together to achieve it. Tell me if Nigeria or the continent of Africa has ever had anyone like that before.

josielewa:
like u dont want people to praise u and wanna be like you...you talk with your ass and shit with your brain

Praise me? Yes. Be like me? Probably. But using my name or my achievements to justify why my ethnic group is better than another's? An emphatic NO!

ayoolanr:
Bro! seriously? Common why bring your "Yorubaness" into this? Aren't we all human?

I tire o.

Ehinmola:
. Why is he not in the economic team of PMB?,yet he is widely accepted even in the US. Let him voluntarily assist nigeria to overcome the current impasse called economic recession with his wealth of experience.

Would they listen to him?

xxxtedyxxx:
no go find work oh...keep wasting your time on useless tribal sentiments that won't put food on your table.

funny thing is, the Adebayo Ogunlesi doesn't even know whether you exist.

Somebody give this man a twenty one gun salute. See all this childish folks reveling in the achievements of people they have never met before.

Onyochejohn:
I saw this man among trump appointees

It's amazing how many talented people we have at home and abroad yet the govt keeps employing incompetents.

1Rebel:
Lool. Some persons who conducted a referrendum not too long ago in order to leave the EU and would still conduct another one to decide the fate of Scotland, are supporting the invisibility of a country where nothing works. And you, the citizens of the said country and jumping about and applauding them like monkeys in a zoo.

Let buhari's economic policies keep peppering you guys well well in that country. until you develop some sense, the suicide rates in the southwest will be on a continous increase. Dirty backstabbing lot.

Backstabbing? Who backstabbed you?

odduduwa:
ritualist .... after killing your last daughter you went to London to buy airport abi useless fool

And you know this how again?

Ofemannnu:
I am not understand,is this not the man in Donald Trump govt? mynd44,seun,lalasticlala

I heard he is on his board of business leaders who give him advice.
