This whole thread is based off what history wrote. 
History more than likely will just as kind to Obama as it is to JFK.

Since the question is best president to LEAD should wartime presidents take precedent? In that case it would fall down to Abe or FDR (Truman?)

I think Truman loses a lot of points with some people because he was the one who dropped two hot ones on japan

Whether they want to admit it it or not and no matter how left wing and pacifist, they may be, historians are drawn to high body counts. The more people killed on your watch, the more pages you get, the books written about you, the more you are remembered.

Sadly, war is part of the human experience and it is better to be on the wining end instead of the losing end so Presidents who presided over victorious wars do deserve acclaim but scholars of American history as well historians of non American history should give more attention to people who actually created instead of destroyed. The poet, the doctor, the artist, the philosopher, the engineer and even the businessmen who enrichs our day to day lives deserve a greater share of the ink of the academic historian.

FDR in my opinion. Remained in office while he had polio. Served how many terms?
