Nevertheless, Kennedy would not be Americans first choice to bring back as the next president, if any former leader alive or dead could serve again. Asked who they would most want to bring back, 24 percent of adults chose Reagan, 21 percent chose Clinton and 13 percent chose Kennedy. Abraham Lincoln was next, at 9 percent...

Why isn't he on the list of "Presidents from 1950-2000"?

(2,667 posts)7. Ronald Reagan was the worst President in our history - and this rating only shows one thing
That rating only shows that the public is still being fooled by that worthless piece of shit.

The deification of a turd doesn't remove the smell.
