This was a great example of when Kyle turns an OK topic into something really entertaining and informative. There had been a run in the national media of ranking of U.S. Presidents, and it got me thinking about the validity of them in the here and now. A little research found that over the short period of time we've decided as historians to "rank" the value of presidents and their administrations, some things have change but the time frame is historically pretty short.
This was about the time the Bowl Championship Series rankings were starting to warm up for the fall, and Kyle gave story it's twist: we are a ranking obsessed society.
Barak Obama -- the greatest or worst president ever -- of course, depends on who you ask.
Enjoy Presidental Rankings from back on Oct. 5, 2010.
