Excluding Bush the Lesser, who in your opinion is the most overrated US president. I say it's Reagan.

Reagan never submitted a balanced budget (although he blamed the dems for the spending) and oversaw two of the biggest government scandals in history -- the S & L debacle and the Iran-Contra shenanigans. Oh, but he did have a robust foreign policy highlighted by the invasion of Gernanda where the US triumphed over 50 Cuban construction workers wielding shovels.

Oh good god. Here' comes another thread full of historical ignorance. Let's see how many people truly know their history, beyond FDR...

Most overrated? Ulysses S. Grant FTW.

Actually that was a quite accurate historical description of Reagan's terms.

Abraham Lincoln. He was great, don't get me wrong, but he didn't do half the (*)(*)(*)(*) that everyone thinks that he did. So I guess it wouldn't be overrated, misunderstood?

Big one: ending slavery. The slaves ended slavery, not Lincoln.

The posts on this thread are more an indictment of the education system than they are a discussion in facts.
