I have always thought it was strange to rank American presidents. It seems close to impossible to know how history would have unfolded if, say, Lincoln would have taken George W. Bush’s place or vice versa. Perhaps we would all live in harmony if this switch was made, or perhaps the world would be post-apocalyptic - or perhaps it would not make a difference at all.
Irrespective of how meaningful these rankings are, George Washington often wins. After viewing a video about him (thanks Angie) I think I understand his greatness a little better. In case you missed it, see the video below.

I can’t believe this made it into your blog!! “He’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming!”

The video is extremely informative. The readers of this blog are politically sophisticated, but there may be gaps even in their knowledge about Washington.
