Since today is Presidents' Day, there's no better time to look at the results of yesterday's CSPAN survey of historians (h/t: ThinkProgress) on presidential leadership.
The top three aren't too much of a surprise:
1. Lincoln
2. Washington
3. FDR
Dubya, however, didn't fare quite as poorly as expected. He was edged out at the bottom by Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Pierce, Harrison, Harding, and Fillmore--finishing in a still-dismal 36th place.
Have a happy (ex-)President's Day, Dubya!
