Obama Rated 5th best US President Ever

I was just reading a DNC publicity release that said, "...of the 44 American Presidents and after a little more than 5 years, Obama has been rated the 5th best president ever."

The details according to a White House news release:

* Washington, Lincoln, and 8 others tied for first.
* 15 presidents tied for second.
* 17 other presidents tied for third.
* Carter came in 4th.
* Obama came in fifth.

I was gonna place this in the Comedy forum but found it to contain far too much truth to not go in the political discussion area.

It took a little math...
...but once I ran the numbers, 5th place is spot on.

Thanks for putting this where it belonged. The Comedy Forum certainly wasn't the right place; train wrecks aren't in the least bit funny.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Headed to Buckley AFB tomorrow morning. Should I get a chance, I'll explain it to him.

Well now that the" trip hazard standard of excellence" has been set, I'm now well within my rights to declare myself the 3rd greatest motorcyclist of all time.

Right behind Evil Knievel in 1st, and everyone else tied for 2nd.
