AOL found 25 Americans of historic value? That's news within itself.

If we're talking 20th century, then Reagan it is, but historically, there can only be one.

Rosa Parks? What the hell is she doing on there? If they're going to include her they should have put others like "Rondney King" or "Barry Manilow".

I watched the show and was disgusted with all the Hollywierd nominees. The only one that actually deserved a nomination was Audie Murphy. I would have liked to have seen Joe McCarthy's name. Some D.A.s nominated Michael Moore, they must have meant for greatest French or Cuban, The guy HATES America.

Too bad you could only vote for three.
Here's whom I picked:
George Washinton
Neil Armstrong
Henry Ford
I'm a big Richard and Pat Nixon fan. Disappointed they were not there. Pat Nixon was, is, and will always be my favorite First Lady. What a lady! I cried when I heard she had died. May she for ever and into perpetuity rest in peace.

Ellen DeGeneres is on their list??? They ARE kidding, I hope.

No world leader in history has so completely defeated so powerful an enemy as did Ronald Wilson Reagan in defeating the Soviet Union. I just voted for him 25 times. Move the cursor across another candidate's photo and back to Reagan and click. You can vote an unlimited number of times.

"Sorry, but IMHO this is just a bunch of PC junk designed to make sure everyone feels good about themselves, their religion or their race and they all feel 'Included'"
Sad, but you are absolutely right.
I have tears in my eyes.

My thoughts exactly - dumps his wife and newborn son who stood by him during his cancer, then hooks up with Lefty rocker Sheryl Crow. LOSER!!

I agree. A loser he is.
Moreover, I'll give him credit for his 6 tours de France. But he's NOT a great cyclist as he refuses to race in other important races. He prepares for 12 months each year for the upcoming tour de france. The greatest of all times is, and will always be Belgian Eddy Mercks.
But, irrespective of his successes, like you said, to leave his wife is beyond despicable. Shame on him, LOSER!!
