RE: Show us your Lincoln collectables!
Bill,

I do. I think there are two ways to rate a president. The first, and most important, is by how well they do in a crisis situation, which is why I think Lincoln and FDR are always near the top. Second, and of lesser importance, is how effectively they are able to get their agenda across. This is where I think LBJ rates high. I think had he not gotten us deeper into Vietnam, he might rank in the top five.

Best
Rob
