Washingto with 69%??????

Obozo next with 12%

Odd, because if hit by DU, etc., I would expect President Bush to be #1.

Sez it is an average of 5 polls.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

I think the poll is useless.

No. George Washington is leading this poll with 69%. You need to look at the entire poll.

Yikes you’re right! Could it be because Sarah Palin was at Washington’s Mt. Vernon estate today? LOL.

I voted honestly. LBJ. Worst. President. Ever. That man changed this country in ways no President has before or since and more than forty years later, we’ve yet to recover from his ruinous policies.

My guess is yes. Doesn’t give the total # of votes, but I know I have posted it maybe twice before, and Pres. Bush was up there in 2nd place, i think.

“Washingto with 69%??????”

How much you wanna bet there were lots of dummies who didn’t read the question carefully enough and thought it asked who was the BEST president??? Lots of people skim (incorrectly) and don’t read carefully.

Washington? He was the best president we ever had, and it wasn't close.

My worst five are Pierce, Buchanan, Taylor, Carter, and Wilson. Obama is right behind them.

People are ignorant about history. Four of the biggest losers right there.

Since I’m new to this poll FReeping, can you vote multiple times? :-)

For all those who answered Washington, there are lots of other countries where they can go and they should - immediately!

“can you vote multiple times?”

Depends on the poll. Sometimes you can get around the “vote once” rule by clearing your cookies and voting again. It’ll log you off of FR, though.

Looks like the “I don’t know” crowd is hitting the George Washington button.

Or as someone upthread said, people thought they were voting for “best President?
