Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader sees that many contributors over on National Review Online are writing about their favorite presidents today (being “Presidents Day).

Your Maximum Leader agrees with John Hood in the NRO piece… James Knox Polk. Should be on anyone’s list. Any sensible “anyone” at any rate…

Since he’s thinking about it… Here is the list of the top 10 Presidents of the United States according to your Maximum Leader. (This is the 2009 edition.)

1. George Washington
2. Abraham Lincoln
3. Franklin D. Roosevelt (I don’t have to like their politics for them to make the list.)
4. James K. Polk
5. Theodore Roosevelt
6. Andrew Jackson
7. Harry Truman
8. Ronald Reagan
9. Dwight Eisenhower
10. Thomas Jefferson (For the Louisiana Purchase mostly.)

If you care… Here is your Maximum Leader’s list back in 2006.

Carry on.
