Johnson - No President by default

Nixon - Yes everyone agreed that he was brilliant. and if he was a crook, he was a damn poor one.

Ford by default

Carter - brilliant man but couldn't handle everything by himself and didn't have a talented staff.

The Rest - presided over the slow decline of the Middle Class
Except for Johnson, Ford and Carter I kind of liked your comments on your picks. Leaving out Reagan is a huge omission, even if you're a union man like me. Good overall, though.
