They didn't realign our politics more to the left. They continued what FDR started, Truman followed. Eisenhower was an aberration in the middle like Clinton was in the Age of Reagan. The list I posted is of presidents I believe transformed politics and realigned them for a few decades. It isn't a list of the greatest presidents.
People remember JFK's challenge. Bush 41 challenged us to go to Mars. How's that coming? Bush 41 was also a bipartisan leader. ;)
A common theme I am seeing from Obamites is an assumption that Obama is going to be a great or near great president. How many have we really had who wound up being great or near great?
