This is a difficult question to answer, because presidents in their day may be very popular (or very unpopular), but years later, historians may re-evaluate their role. I understand that this question originally related to a joke (one that was told about President Bush before it got changed to be told about Barack Obama); but there is actually a very important subject here, and one that is worth discussing. Do we evaluate "greatest" based on how they changed the country? How popular they were in their day? What policies they implemented?
No matter what list of criteria you use, I would think President Washington or President Lincoln would be the top two presidents. But after that, some candidates include President Theodore Roosevelt, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and President Reagan. I expect other contributors to have their own opinions. (It is way too early to evaluate President Bush or President Obama. Normally such evaluations occur years after they have left office.)
