Notice the results of Clinton before and after his book, My Lie...I mean Life.

What is surprising is that George Washington isn't ranked number one. After all, he only helped found a Republic. Not a big deal to people that don't think about our ENTIRE history.

The poll is stupid because the average American probably isn't even capable of naming more than a handful of presidents prior to Roosevelt (Frankie, not Theo), without a cheat sheet, with the exception of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln. Republicans name Reagan because that's the first name that pops into their head. Fortunately for us, he really was a great president. Democrates name Clinton, because that's the first name that jumps into their head. Greatness is irrelevant.

Yes, but George1 and George3 have the same rating. Gotta love that. I believe that the two Georges will go down in history as two of the greatest. Ronnie will be right up there too.

Forgive those who know not what they do.

Not to mention Wasington's cherry tree tale and the ones about Honest Abe.
