oh fuck. Americans Say Reagan Is the Greatest U.S. President

[cali]

Lincoln and Clinton next on the list; Washington fifth
by Frank Newport

PRINCETON, NJ -- Ahead of Presidents Day 2011, Americans are most likely to say Ronald Reagan was the nation's greatest president -- slightly ahead of Abraham Lincoln and Bill Clinton. Reagan, Lincoln, or John F. Kennedy has been at the top of this "greatest president" list each time this question has been asked in eight surveys over the last 12 years.


Presidents Day, celebrated on the third Monday of February each year, officially commemorates the Feb. 22 birthday of George Washington. The country's first president is not regarded by Americans as the nation's greatest president, however. Gallup's Feb. 2-5 update shows that Washington comes in fifth on the list, behind Reagan, Lincoln, Clinton, and Kennedy.

1. This is why our country is in trouble..

I almost expected the Republicans to claim George W. "Mission Accomplished" Bush as the greatest President ever. Just think, in a few years of Fox indoctrination, he will be. (Why does this remind me of North Korea and Dear Leader?)

2. Raygun has been getting by on a pass for almost 30 years

our side needs take his image down and expose the factual truth. Until that's done ... yeah he's going to win these surveys.

4. My long-time Repub father (who voted for Obama) loves Reagan

For him, presidents are great who act great. Those who give good speech and can put you at ease while they're screwing you over. The particular facts of the matter aren't as relevant to his estimation.

5. talk about a Hollywood ending. n/t

6. The right wing campaign to deify Reagan has been successful...

If the media was liberal as claimed, Reagan would be ranked with Herbert Hoover and Franklin Pierce.

7. Mission accomplished. The dumbing down of America is complete.

8. Reagan sucked ass!

He was dumber than shit, broke the unions with his air traffic controller stump, refused to do anything about AIDS at the beginning of the epidemic, and brought us the great Arthur Laffer ecomics model. He also used astrology to help make his decisions.

I swear this 24 hour news media is crazy. They are litterly brainwashing people into believing shit that did not happen.
