Lincoln's Vice was a extremely racist Southerner and was rated as the most racist president we ever had. Then again, Lincoln was a radical president, he was a good president in terms of getting a war done, but in terms of methods of achieving goals (like abolishing slavery), not so much, I mean some places in the South still haven't recovered from the war.
Again you also have to consider the media, look at Nixon, when he was running for President the media adored him, when he got into the office the media said "nevermind you suck" this also happened with Obama, and I can assume this happened with the other presidents as well. Nixon in the end wasn't actually all that bad, he ended the most unpopular war in US history which Kennedy started in the first place for one. Thats gotta count for something.
Ever wonder why in the last 50 years we never got a good president? Think in the last 50 years the government lost control of the media, just look at the propaganda during the 50's, if the government were to do that today it would be largely attacked. The real problem is that now the stupid people have gotten into the media like Fox, "Prolonged Internet Use Causes Depression" or "Watching Porn Makes You Gay" not only that, but there's the fact that its a very popular trend to always focus on the negatives and ignore the positives where we get a president who's the arm and the media is the blade and we're the emo kid.....
