How Presidents are judged

To my mind, there are three criteria:
1. Was his administration free of corruption?
2. Was his administration efficient, or was it incompetent.
3. Were those principles under which his administration operated correct?

You will come up with some interesting answers if you judge Presidents with all three of these. Men with whom you may have agreed may have been very corrupt or incompetent. Men who were very competent administrators may have had the wrong guiding principles.

IF we are honest in our assessment of Presidents and do not merely pick the ones we like, the results of our investigations might be much different than we would think.
