Abraham Lincoln comes in first again in C-SPAN's second Historians Survey of
Presidential Leadership -- an index that takes the views of 65 presidential
historians and ranks the 42 former presidents according to 10 "attributes of
leadership."

 

The public affairs cable news network first produced a Presidents Day
ranking of presidents in 2000. So this is its initial look at where former
president George W. Bush ranks. He comes in at No. 36.

 

As for the rest, historians' opinions haven't changed too much. George
Washington (now No. 2) and Franklin Roosevelt (No. 3) switched places. Bill
Clinton moved up from No. 21 in the previous index to No. 15 now. Ulysses S.
Grant moved up 10 places, to No. 23. Rutherford B. Hayes lost 7 places, and
now stands at No. 33.

"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will
stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving
path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so
far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."


-Sir Winston Churchill
