Obama not on Smithsonian’s ’100 most significant Americans’ list; liberals in shock over who is!

BizPac Review ^ | November 22, 2014 | Tom Tillison

[right way right]

How could they miss all that Obama has done for the world.

Today we have many things we can attribute to him.
but I’ m coming up blank on anything positive.

[central_va]

What? No Jim Thompson?

Curiously, the only redeeming qualification Raw Story named when mentioning Obama is that he was the country’s first black president — former President Bill Clinton notwithstanding.

If Obama is even a legitimate occupant of our White House, he accomplished the "first black" milestone in the first three seconds after he took the Oath of Office (when he finally made it through that correctly). Has Obama done anything else positive (pretending for the moment that being 'first black' is relevant to doing a job) since those first three seconds? Anything?

0bama was beat out by a horse! Hah!

With a stroke of his infamous pen Obama will assure himself of a #1 position on that list.

Wow, you’re so right. All of a sudden it all comes back to me. I had just finished a P.Chem exam and was getting ready for the Thanksgiving holidays.

The next day I was driving in Mobile, AL (it was raining) and heard on the car radio that Oswald had been shot. At that time we were still thinking that the Russians had something to do with JFK’s death.

I’d agree with maybe 60-70% of the names. I’d drop most of the criminals and several of the “first ladies” and several of the athletes. For example, Ty Cobb was a great player, but how “influential” was he?

It’s just a guess but you probably have to be an American before you can make the 100 Most Significant Americans list.

Er...Christopher Columbus, who never set foot on American soil, and Henry Hudson are on the list.

[Steve_Seattle]

"When did Secretariat become an American?"

And how "influential" was he? He was a terrible public speaker.

"I can see Bush, since he was pres. on 9/11 but honestly if you have Palin you should have Obama. Even though she’s great and he stinks, that’s not the point of the list, is it?"

The point of the list is:

“100 most significant Americans”

Palin and Bush=> place of birth: USA

Bozo's place of birth: Kenya, Africa

Is there a town named "Kenya" in USA?

[Kackikat]

duh.

[Slyfox]

Must be the horns.

[stars & stripes forever]

He was a terrible public speaker.

Apparently the committee overlooked Mr. Ed. He was quite fluent in speech and in intelligence.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Carter deserves it way more than Obama.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Then where is E. Howard Hunt and the Cubans?

[Steve_Seattle]

"Apparently the committee overlooked Mr. Ed. He was quite fluent in speech and in intelligence."

I have more respect for Mr. Ed than for a few names on the list.

[MUDDOG]

That’s my favorite theory — anti-Castro Cubans run by E. Howard Hunt were the shooters.

[NELSON111]

I went through the list a couple of days ago and my thought...as I was descending to #1 was "They'll have the One in the top 5..."

Needless to say I was shocked.
