How are you voting?

That list is completely bogus...

Favorably-viewed Presidents George Washington (94% favorable) Abraham Lincoln (92% favorable) Thomas Jefferson (89% favorable) Theodore Roosevelt (84% favorable) Franklin D. Roosevelt (81% favorable) John F. Kennedy (80% favorable) John Adams (74% favorable) James Madison (73% favorable) Ronald Reagan (72% favorable) Dwight Eisenhower (72% favorable) Harry Truman (70% favorable) Andrew Jackson (69% favorable) Gerald Ford (62% favorable) John Quincy Adams (59% favorable) Ulysses S. Grant (58% favorable) Jimmy Carter (57% favorable) William Taft (57% favorable) George H.W. Bush (57% favorable) Woodrow Wilson (56% favorable) Bill Clinton (55% favorable)

You cannot rate a president that you were not alive during their terms. The only reason people voted favorably for those people, besides the fact that they were on a list, is because in school you were never told about their negative feats, only their positive ones. EVERY President that we have had has done something that the rest of America completely disagrees with, or so I feel. The difference with most every other president, is the negative thing was heavily outweighed by the positive thing which recieved so much praise, the negative thing became overlooked, or was viewed in a positive light.

I will use Abraham Lincoln as an example. He freed the slaves! Many Americans were pissed. Sure they are people, but it's labor that we didn't have to pay for. So you feed them a few times a week, and need to give them shelter. YOU REAP 100% OF THE BENEFITS OF YOUR CROPS! Now, don't think I believe we should still have slaves, I am glad we don't, because I would be one for sure (disregarding color). But nowadays, it is viewed by everyone, except racists, as one of the best things that happened to America.

Also, I can almost guarantee the reason Clinton was voted least favorable is because they all feel that getting head is wrong. They would have never known, if someone hadn't told them. What he does behind closed doors is his business that he can handle with his wife and mistress. Sometimes people think you are the worst person because of your personal life, even if the job you are doing is beyond what has been done in a long time, and it sucks that people feel the need to judge you on your personal life, not how well you handle your job.
