I know the neocons love him, but really, the greatest American of all time? I don’t care how great a communicator he was, or whether or not he was actually responsible for the downfall of the Soviet Union, he shouldn’t beat out the likes of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. If he hadn’t died, he’d be in the damn 20s somewhere, instead of #1.
- Ronald Reagan
- Abraham Lincoln
- Martin Luther King
- George Washington
- Benjamin Franklin
- George W Bush
- Bill Clinton
- Elvis Presley
- Oprah Winfrey
- Franklin D Roosevelt
Neither Bill Clinton nor Dubya nor Reagan should be on this list. Neither should Oprah Winfrey. If a talk show host is the best female role model for American women, then we’re all in deep kimchee. We’ll all end up like the twit in this post.
