She's one of the most disgusting materialists I've ever seen. If you have any problem with America's wasteful consumerism, Oprah should be on your sh!tlist.

1) As campaign manager, got his brother elected President
2) Put the smackdown on the mob as attorney general
3) Prevented the entire world from being blown up by helping direct a peaceful strategy of the Cuban Missle crisis when others in the Cabinet were calling for confrontation
4) Was elected New York Senator
5) Opened up and honest look about what was REALLY going on in Vietnam
6) Entry into the Presidential race meant Lyndon Johnson had to resign

And most importantly:

7) Championed the rights of the dispossed, campaigned for equal rights of all people
8) United people from all walks of life in a way nobody has ever been able to, and nobody ever will ever again

I think we should place a perma ban on all fabricated American Superstars, such as that lady who was in Iraq (name?????) and there was that whole sham set up around her 'rescue' from the iraqui hospital, and they said she was tortured....

Or that football player turned dead soldier guy. PROPAGANDA! Yes it did happen, but he was built up to be a hero, thus PROPAGANDA!

Ah yes, the Einstein Crater tourist attraction in Spokane.

In the end, his impact is relative.

It's really amazing how naturalized USA citizens are included on the list. Einstein is a German Jew, and there he is considered an American...

I vote for, off the list:
Albert Einstein
Thomas Edison
Bill Gates

Martin Luther King would be a close 4th candidate.
