Larry K--

Your "observations" are such an easy target, it's pathetic. --" The public voted him the greated (sic) president in history (per time (sic) magazine)"   Better than Washington, Lincoln, FDR?   We should take this seriously?

I suspect this Time quote is taken from the Feb 2001 Gallup poll on the subject. From a Wall St. Journal column recently:   "When the firm (Gallup) asked the same question in May 2003, 51% of respondents named a post-1960 president. Among Democrats, 46% picked either John F. Kennedy or Bill Clinton, while 41% of Republicans chose either Mr. Reagan or George W. Bush." As the column puts it: "Whatever the merits of these four men, it seems premature at best to declare them greater than the likes of Washington and Lincoln".
