It appears that by a three to one margin presidential scholars are now convinced that Barack Obama has been the worst president ever.

Before you liberals out there start yelping about “conservative lairs” and all, this determination came from the far left think tank the Brookings Institute, not any conservative group. That makes it all the more amazing.

I did not know that you liberals can make characatures of Obummer looking like a monkey. If a conservative did that there would be hell to pay. But I think it is spot on anyway - good job it says everthing! lol.

The headline of the attached article is clearly misleading. How could Obama be the "Worst President In History"...when further down in the article it says that "the bulk of the experts appear to be giving him a passing grade"?

[thaskalos]

One thing is certain, though. With the back-to-back presidencies that we have recently seen...the case could made for the abolition of "Presidents' Day".

Nice strategy, H4C...counter facts with cartoons. :lol:

That kind of underscores my assertion that the world has a low opinion of us. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Let's start with the Brookings Institute. The Brookings Institute is a centrist slightly left organization. A few even consider it to be conservative. The Brookings Institute employs scholars from a parts of the political spectrum. Yet, this clown calls it a far left think tank.

But that is not the bad part. Mr. Warner Todd Huston completely misrepresents the survey. But he makes the mistake of providing us with a link to the Brookings institute's own article on the survey.

None of this matters to Mr. Huston's target audience which has neither the interest nor the intelligence to critique his comments. Unfortunately for Huston, we liberals have both.

The survey actually concludes that Obama is the eighteenth best President in our history. From the Brookings article.

We decided to conduct our own, original poll of several hundred members of the American Political Science Association on the topic of presidential greatness and President Obama’s current place in history (more on the methodology below.) The results of our survey of political scientists with expertise in the American presidency include findings similar to other such polls and some intriguing new evidence, as well.
First, President Obama ranks 18th overall.

This little fact is mentioned nowhere in Mr Huston's article. It is ignored like a fat girl at an eighth grade dance.

Mr. Huston starts his article with the following statement, "It appears that by a three to one margin presidential scholars are now convinced that Barack Obama has been the worst president ever." That is wrong, and it is very misleading. It is wrong because the survey said "one of the worst" not "the worst." It is misleading because it implies that all the members of the APSA-162 participated in the survey-considered Obama as either one of the worst or one of the best. Or, in other words, 122 considered him one of the worst and 40 thought him one of the best. But it also could be that six thought Obama to be one of the worst, while two considered him one of the best; with the rest holding opinions in the middle. And since Obama's final ranking came in at 18th, we must assume that most respondents consider Obama to be an above average president.

Quite the opposite of Huston's foolish assessment.

H4C's cartoons have a lot more validity than your facts.

Whatever gibberish Tom has ginned up from some Con website I've never heard of, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the opinions of Canadians on Obama. The last time they were reflected in polling was August, 2014, as follows:

"U.S. President Barack Obama
The most popular words picked by respondents to describe Mr. Obama were "influential" (46 per cent), "charismatic" (43 per cent), "compassionate" (33 per cent), "inspiring" (32 per cent), and "credible" (29 per cent).

"The love story with [Mr. Obama] continues," Shachi Kurl, vice-president of Angus Reid Global, said. "Canadians hold him in higher esteem than their own prime minister."(And in higher esteem than Americans, who elected him -- the U.S. President frequently polls better in Canada than he does back home.)"
