There hasn't been a greater American than George Washington. Is anyone even close?

John Adams.

I think Franklin was an even greater American.

Agreed! So many idiots voting for celebrities not great Americans. None on the list even come close to GREAT except George Washington.... though Reagan is the closest 2nd.

Most people do not know how smart and truly patriotic George Washington was. After beating the British many wanted to make him KING. He soundly turned them down. He was a smart business man too.

People need to really read about him. Visit his farm. He was all the founders ever wanted everyone to have a chance to become. Perfect for the first president of this (once) great land.

None since comes close. That being said who wants to bet that a liberal is not chosen? I bet one or both of the Clintons is in the top 5.

Did anyone see Maria Schiver gushing over Hillary? That was early and that was where I turned it off. Sickening.

It's George Washington and no one else.

But more importantly, the fact that every man sitting in the Constitutional Convention was 100x's greater than that white thrash from Arkansas.
