Regardless of how this turned out, I don't think anyone can say that Ronald Reagan matches up to Abe Lincoln, The Founding Fathers and Martin Luther King Jr.

Reagan was a fine president (as most are) but to say that he did as much for America as The Founding Fathers or Abe Lincoln and Dr. King is pretty ridiculous. One of those groups managed to found this nation, and the other two put into motion the end of one of the greatest injustices of all time.

Maybe there are some big Reagan readers out there who can put up some points for why he should be #1? Other than lowering the highest tax bracket from 80% to 38%, a few mild military campaigns and a flawed economic policy... what did he do?

Great at communicating to the people and very personable... fill me in, people!

Did anybody else notice that Pat Tillman (former Arizona Cardinals DB and Special Operations Corporal) was nominated as well? He didn't make the Top 25, but that must be quite the honor for his family just to have him nominated.

I wonder who the greatest american woman would be? I have my favorite:

The Madame who got Charlie Sheen a career... among other things. :shock:
