The Times of London will this week present its countdown of the the 42 US Presidents in order of worst to best. Today is 42-33. Below is the re-printed list. Go here to read the reasoning behind the order. I’m very curious to see who they’ve placed at number one and not at all surprised to see Nixon and Bush Jr. not only in the bottom ten but tied.
42. James Buchanan 1857-61 (Democratic)
41. Franklin Pierce 1853-57 (Democratic)
40. Martin Van Buren 1837-41 (Democratic)
39. William Harrison 1841 (Whig)
37= Richard Nixon 1969-74 (Republican)
37= George W. Bush 2001-2009 (Republican)
36. Herbert Hoover 1929-33 (Republican)
34= Warren Harding 1921-23 (Republican)
34= James Garfield 1881 (Republican)
33. Millard Fillmore 1850-53 (Whig)
