    P.S. numbers 21-32 are a little iffy as I don't know as much about those Presidents as the others

    It's interesting to see FDR so near the bottom of the list... you're of one mind with your great grandmother Julia Cox who detested him when he was in office. I was just a kid then and I wondered why she didn't like the President. I also remember heated political arguments between various adults and family members. Many seemed to appreciate the work camps initiated by FDR such as the CCC camps where my Dad and uncles got work as a young man.
