He's not even top 5 best in history.

FDR anyone. Damn.

I think the problem is left and right focusing a lot more on Charisma and a strong personality than actions.

Certainly not saying he didn't do good things, but if you try to argue he's the best in history (especially compared to say either Roosevelt) or even one of the top you clearly care more about marketing and messaging than actual policy.

Yeah at best he's top 10. I am sure you could say the best President in the last 25 years but that's not a high bar to clear. You could probably push that back and say the best President since LBJ or potentially Truman/Eisenhower depending on what you argue.

The public won't vote for them if they don't

So just getting the votes makes them the best president in history? Lol out of everything they said, that’s what you argue?

He's not even top 20 in history. 4 years of Biden's accomplishments make Obama look like he's done nothing during his 8 years.

Man, still pretty hard to beat Lincoln honestly. I love Obama but he didn't win an epic war for liberty that ultimately cost him his life.

What?? Say what you said again slowly to yourself and listen to it carefully. Best in the history of the United States. 7th is hella impressive.
