This was my thought as well. People have way too short of a perspective on these issues. All people are talking about is Obama, Bush , and maybe Clinton and the first Bush.....history is much longer than the last 30 years.I think people forget the presidents during the Civil War period, excluding Lincoln.
The problem is, it is incredibly difficult to place presidents until atleast 10+ years down the road after you can take a more comprehensive look at the implications of presidential policies and the long-term trends of the political environment. In addition, more information comes out about the activities of the president, Eisenhower probably being the best example (people originally thought he didn't do much of anything legislatively, but it turned out he was very active behind the scenes).
