Greatest President

2005-2-22 06:11:00

Here's something different today.

There is a new Gallup/CNN/USA poll taken Feb 20, 2005 that asks the general public who the greatest American president was. Here was the surprising response:

• Ronald Reagan 20%
• Bill Clinton 15%
• Abraham Lincoln 14%
• FDR 12%
• John Kennedy 12%
• George W. Bush 5%
• George Washington 5%
• Jimmy Carter 3%

It is significant that missing from the list are the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, John Adams and others.

Study this over and answer the following:

1. What flaw does this survey reveal in the understanding of the general population?
2. How does this problem pose a major danger to our civilization and way of life?
3. Who do you think is our greatest president? --
