The Ten Greatest American Presidents
July 27, 2023 @ 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
The Ten Best American Presidents
How do we determine who the greatest Presidents were?
One recent poll of the American public disclosed that they believed Bill Clinton is the greatest President of all time!
Another recent poll, this one only of Republicans, showed that 5% considered George W. Bush the greatest President of all time!
Let’s not ask the public!
When professional historians are asked to compile lists of the greatest Presidents,
they usually choose Washington, Lincoln, and FDR as the best. (apologies to both Presidents Bush and Clinton!)
But after those three, the lists become intriguing. Does Truman belong in the pantheon? How about Jefferson, Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, Reagan, or Polk? Can a case be made for Madison, Cleveland, JFK, or Wilson? The debate is fun, and the comparisons are exciting! I will prevent my intentionally provocative choices in this fast-moving multimedia presentation.
