Well, if adding nearly a million square miles of territory to the United States makes one a good president, then he certainly was. If waging aggressive war is incompatible with being one, then he wasn't. You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Polk added over 800,000 square miles to western territory and extended the boundary of the country to the Pacific Ocean. He also lowered tariffs and created an independent federal treasury. He only served one term as promised.

He did what he set out to do and he did a lot in one term.
