A new Gallup Poll, released today, finds that Ronald Reagan is now the people's choice for America's greatest president ever. Bill Clinton comes in second.
This is just silly. I love Reagan and he certainly was one of the greats, but there's no way I would put any 20th century president at the top of the list. And the fact that Clinton came in second just proves that for many people, history started the day they were born. Clinton did basically nothing (Lewinsky notwithstanding) while in office, and basically profited from the economic benefits of Reaganomics. To proclaim him our second greatest president is a sad statement about the quality of education in this country.
