THE GREATEST PRESIDENT

With Reagan passing and Clinton publishing, Gallup is out checking mindshare. The results are interesting. My personal favorite (from an 11/03 poll):

Q: Who do you regard as the greatest United States president?
17% Kennedy
17% Lincoln
13% Reagan
11% Roosevelt
9% Clinton
7% Washington

I had not realized how popular Kennedy was, either in his own time (remember, the election vs. Nixon was close), or today.

I'm a big fan of Clinton's, but I'm not putting him ahead of Washington until they name a state and city after him and put his face on the quarter. People are fickle - how can they forget how he put down the Whiskey Rebellion in the Monongahela?
