Wwii Churchill His

Who are the most under-rated and over-rated presidents of all time? Why?

under-rated: Eisenhower: peace and prosperity, interstate highway system, stood up to communism and military industrial complex.

coolidge: peace and prosperity, and and to follow the worst president of all time - harding (they were in the same party too!)

over-rated:
Andrew Jackson: ONLY president to EVER ingore the supreme court when he allowed the Cherokee to be robbed of their land. Started the spoils system

FDR: WWII ended the great depression, not his welfare programs that lasted well after the depression. gave in to Churchill and Stalin too much during WWII. His court-packing threat was a farce too. AND asked a Japanese-American citizen who was imprisoned during WWII if FDR was a great president!

PS I asked this in "politics" but it didn't show up for some reason!

I don't think FDR is over-rated. Did he make mistakes? Yes, they all make mistakes, but we may have had a socialist uprising in this country had FDR not adopted a Keynesian market approach to many of his solutions.

FDR, after all, brought us Unemployment Insurance and Social Security, and these programs were great economic stablizing forces.

Stalin did take advantage of a frail FDR in his last term. The WPA and some subsidy attempts were fiascos. Internment of japanese americans was a bad thing, but then the rabble might have lynched those people otherwise, so that's a tough call.

I would agree with the judgement on Jackson: viewed with the benefit of historical retrospect, he capitalized on populist views including bigotry, and that had a lot to do with his policy choices.

I would say that Ronald Reagan is over-rated by the right in this country and under-rated by progressives. The Reagan Myth promoted by conservatives and neoconservatives is definitely detatched from reality, and the progressive view is too focused on his negatives. I think Reagan, like FDR, wasn't altogether there in his last term, but strangely... a softened and humbled Reagan made better policy decissions unlike FDR.

JFK was over-rated. That is expected since he was martyred. Civil rights reform was really a Johnson thing. JFK was a quentessential cold warrior, and he could have used a little input from Ike to soften that.

Jefferson's chief accomplishment other than the Constitution was the Louisianna Purchase, and though he had piles of negatives including bad economic policy (he was an economic disaster on trade policy), those two things redeem him and put him deservingly in the ranks of better Presidents.

Hoover is rated appropriately by everybody except folks at the Herritage Foundation and the Hoover Institute.
