Texas A&M Study Calls Obama 5th Best President in America.
From a total of 44 US Presidents, Obama has been rated as the 5th best according to a study completed at Texas A&M University. The Public Relations Office at A&M released the following statement: "After only 5 years in office, Americans have rated President Obama the 5th best President in U.S. history."
These are the results according to Texas A&M:
1. Reagan and Lincoln tied for first.
2. Seventeen presidents tied for second.
3. Twenty-three other presidents tied for third.
4. Jimmy Carter came in fourth, and...
5. Obama was fifth.

We've seen this one before and dissected it with clinical precision. Two things jump out, though.
1) The GOP doesn't get to claim Lincoln as one of their own anymore. You pissed that away with the Southern Strategy. If Lincoln came back to life today, Rupert Murdoch would organize a revival of 'Our American Cousin'.
2) Bill Clinton tied for third? Yeah, right. The wailing and moaning and bedwetting by Republicans was unprecedented when Big Dog was in office. Until a black man was elected president. Twice.
It is somewhat amusing - insofar as one can find any of this drivel amusing - to witness conservatives praising Clinton now. WTF? Just wait'll HRC runs for Pres (she won't get my vote but not for the reasons spewed out by Rush and Fox), and we'll be inundated with ancient history about that blue dress and how horrible and terrible it was that Clinton had sex with "that woman." Like as if the R-Team pols never ever ever cheat on their wives... yeah, Appalacian Trail anyone. But oh lest I forget: IOKIYAR.
This is just more racist red meat tossed to the typical slavering base. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ferschitz - Have you ever cheated on your wife or shot your oracle jizz on your girlfriend's dress?
Additionally: Can you please give us a list with exact reasons why you won't vote for HRC....I'm "all ears", like Barack Hussein Obama (aka - Obummer) and Bush the Lesser.

What exactly does that have to do with anything?

There's plenty of legit reasons, and I'm pretty sure he has stated them before. Try to pay attention.

*Yawn*
gruaud's "vote" doesn't even matter, anyway....elections at the federal level are predetermined by corporate money (see Citizens United).
Anyways, gruaud would probably vote for some 3rd Party pot-smoking weirdo....perhaps a Libertarian?
You see, gruaud, ferschitz, CharlieE and friends have it ALL figured out, yet they'd rather opine about how things ought to be inatead of actively getting involved in changing what they see as "wrong" in their highly progressive and naive/immature minds.
P.S. - I doubt if gruaud can even get "it" up anymore....too many psychological meds have that nasty side effect, if you will.
So what's your point, anonymous, besides the usual light trolling?
Citizen's United corrupts at all levels. And how do you know what those guys do off the net? All you do is make childish assumptions and ad hominems.
We already have Sarah Palin for that job.
yet they'd rather opine about how things ought to be inatead of actively getting involved in changing what they see as "wrong" in their highly progressive and naive/immature minds.
And you know they aren't involved... how?
Boring trolls continue to be boring.
Don't feed.
ferschitz can't get "it" up, either.
No wonder why they are such frustrated progressives, as is evidenced with their musings on this blog.
Cialis for BOTH of those limp dicks on "goddamned" psych meds!

You know nothing about me; you have no idea if I'm actively involved in anything.
There are many reasons why I would never, ever vote Republican, but the first one is this:
I have too much money in the stock market to ever consider voting Republican.
Over the past 80 years, the stock market has gone up an average of 10% per year with a Democrat in the White House.
When a Republican is in the White House, the stock market has averaged 0.4% per year.
I have a college degree, so I know which number is bigger.
No one with either a lick of sense or a single dollar invested in the stock market would ever vote Republican. E.V.E.R.
So sad. Typical rightwing commenters projecting their own inadequacies, fears, ignorance onto what they've been intensely trained to view as the dreaded, horrid, fearful "other."
Duly note the usual (happens with every single one of these rightwing commenters) prurient juvenile repressed homo-erotic slurs and ad hominem attacks on the regular commenters here, as if that "proves" something. One has to wonder about the motivations for that?
Regular commenters here routinely and very easily debunk the ongoing, daily assault of lies and nasty bigotry churned out by rightwing think tanks that show up in these RWFs, yet these heavily propagandized rightwingers come here with their usual false tropes, slings & arrows somehow thinking this makes them morally superior or something.
Needless to say, not one of them ever really bothers to read or consider the proof of the debunking provided by regular commenters. Rather we're called names like lazy, stupid, and we don't work "hard enough" in the eyes of these conservatives - who, actually, know zip, zero, nada, nothing about us.
All just dittoheaded rightwing knee-jerk reactions finely honed from a steady diet of the propaganda that shows up here day after day after tedious day, not to mention their steady diet of similar or worse on the tv and radio.
So sad. Because these foolish citizens are being played by powerful people, like the Koch brothers, like the Walton spawn, to behave in just this fashion. Knee-jerk "hating" of so-called "liberals" (actually most of here are probably way more fiscally conservative - in the true sense of the words - than these propagandized fools are) because that's what they've been TOLD to do... mindlessly, unquestioning... no critical thinking and no realization that just perhaps they have much more in common with so-called "liberals" than they do with the wealthy fascists who are dictating their behavior, reactions, thinking, etc.
United we stand, but here is prime example of the oldest trick in the book: Divide and Conquer. You conservatives have been conquered by the very rich, and they laugh and laugh and laugh at how easily played you are.
Oh well. We see it here all the time with the same depressing results. Apparently it's much more fun to hurl puerile insults at someone you know nothing about, rather than to take just a little time to actually read, think for yourself and maybe learn something new.
Good luck to us all cuz we're all gonna need it.
I thought this was a clever little political JOKE.
If you'll react so harshly and melodramatically to a mere joke, then you need help.
These regular commentators on here are sad.
Do something more productive with your time.
Amen.
That was very productive, anonymous, you raised the bar pretty high. Your butt-hurt commentary will surely change life on the internet as we know it. Not even Peggy Noonan could have done it better.
Go with God, forgiven.
Ah yes and then the last redoubt of the lazy-minded after calling names and hurling insults at people they know nothing about: it was just a joke. You should lighten up.
Riiiiiight.
Oh it was a joke...I get it. Deflection, the last resort when you have nothing left and you've run out straw men and ad hominems. Just to point out the hypocrisy in your statement, is this just like the jokes about Bush, or the Tina Fey bit about Goddess Sarah, or any number of Mitt jokes. Remind us all again, what was the RW reaction on every RW blog, website and comment section? Rabid foaming at the mouth at the behest of the Fox News overlords was it? Yeah thought so.
As Teddy KGB said: "Go away, this one is not good for you."
I hate to break it to you, anon, but most of these forwards are "jokes". They're also racist, mysogynistic, pig-headed, and unfunny.
And the reason they're not funny is because they fail at Humor 101. Rather than laugh at themselves or mock the powers that be, conservative humor tends to bully -- attacking the weak, the disenfranchised, the 'other'.
It yearns for the good old days that never were, wants to preserve the status quo, and wants to serve the interests of the powerful.
That is just not funny to most people in this world, and never will be.
This was clever (whether a joke or not).
