People... it's Martin Luther King, OK?

Uhm, out of the list*, the easy winner is Thomas Edison. But the greatest American, the one who impacted the way we live our lives more than any other single man (other than perhaps Edison) is Henry Ford... whom, shockingly, didn't even make the list.

I mean... Marilyn Monroe? Steven Spielberg? Hilary Clinton?

*And since "greatest" wasn't defined, I assume this is left up to the individual poster to define greatness?

I thought about it, as we are related. But he was president back in the days when the country was so wierd that I couldn't really follow the historical narrative, so I voted for Washington.

God Damn Euros are taking a dump in this poll as well. How else can one explain Bill Clinton getting more votes than Jefferson, Lincoln and both of the Roosevelts. He is only behind MLK jr., Franklin, Washington (thanks to my vote!). The man is scum, and his administration will be known as "the wasted years".

Andrew Jackson was a good president, but in my mind there was no better American than Thomas Jefferson.

Why do Marilyn Monroe and Hillary each have one vote, and Abraham Lincoln have only 2????

Time to change that.

Thomas Edison! How can you compare a politition or an activist to an inventor?

Thomas Edison was a complete scumbag who set science back decades.

Lincoln

Lincoln didn't do anything important outside the US (that I know of).

both of the Roosevelts.

The only thing I know about the first Roosevelt is that he liked saying "Bully" as a synonym for "Cool".

I think our Richard Bennett copied FDR's Depression-fighting strategy, but didn't get to implement it because William Lyon Mackenzie King got elected in 1935.

Seriously, you can't expect foreigners to know your presidents who specialized in internal affairs.

Franklin was an inventor and scientist...

and a statesman...

and a philosopher...

and an entreprenuer...

He combined the best qualities of all of us.

St. Leo, Teddy Roosevelt is not best known for his "internal affairs" (even if he did set up our national park system).

He brought Realpolitic to the United States.

Come to think of it -- are you saying FDR, who was president during WWII, specialized in "interal affairs"?

Where's the Thomas Paine option???

In his absence, I voted for MLKJr.

Runners up: Jefferson, FDR, Lincoln.

As much as I like Thomas Paine, I wouldn't put him in a poll like this. He was a little too good with a poison pen.

But Paine was such a crabby bastard, without being too evil (like Ford), which is what makes him so damn likeable. (CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT ALERT) And I mean, arguably, America wouldn't even exist without Paine. Washington's all well and good, but you don't get anywhere with the peasants without 'Common Sense'.

I agree Jefferson was the best, but, since I'm related to Andrew I'm going to have to vote with the family.
