Regarding the Feb. 8 letter, “Democrats unwilling to evaluate Obama realistically”: The writer states, “Why is it that some think of President Obama almost as a deity, yet eclipsing President Carter as the worst president in modern history?” Is it Democrats who aren’t willing to evaluate President Obama realistically, or is it the letter writer?
C-Span recently released a rating of all of the presidents of the United States. Not only is Barack Obama not the worst president in modern history, neither is Jimmy Carter. President George W. Bush ranks 33rd on the list, while Jimmy Carter comes in at 26 and Barack Obama at 12. The list was compiled by a diverse list of contributors who considered 10 qualities and scored each president based on those qualities. The survey can be found at https://www.c-span.org/presidentsurvey2017
