C-Span ranked George W, Bush's Presidency SECOND TO WORST in "International Relations"...
...but the man who came up dead last in that category, William Henry Harrison, was only president for 30 days!

WOW.

2. That's not fair. Harrison didn't really have a chance with 30 days. nt

4. Huh? What'd Harrison do? Start a world war?
Seriously, what in the hell could he have done in 30 days, that doesn't immediately come to mind (mine at least), that makes him worse than what * accomplished in his 8 years?

Makes no sense to me...:wtf:

5. Bad methodology, Harrison should not be ranked last in anything
Given that he didn't even really have a presidency. Since he did more or less nothing he should be behind all of the presidents who did something good in an area and in front of all of the presidents who did something bad.

6. he should be the standard bearer for ranking Presidents...
If you do bad, you're "Worse than Harrison". If you do good, you're "better than Harrison". He really should be the golden dividing line of Presidential worthiness.
