	I'm with the people who think the list itself is complete bunk, but it's fun as a quiz.

	^^agreed

	Elvis, Oprah, Bush and Billy Graham over Jefferson? Was the Discovery channel just out to see how many people they could piss off?

	No Madison? Reagan is the greatest American ever? Really?

	i hope einstein and schwarzenegger embrace their new nationality. And somehow John Edwards is special...He isn't the first senator to run for and not win the Democratic nomination, much less the presidency. As for the people who SHOULD be on this list...too many to count. I have a feeling I know why sporcle never published the Discovery list.

	I agree with Hummingbird. Madison isn't on this list? That's ridiculous. However I gave the quiz a five because it was well made and accurate to the source.

	Pretty awful list. But a fun game regardless.

	I put "Jackson" as in Andrew Jackson and only Michael came up. I put "Madison," as in James Madison--the architect of the Constitution--and nothing came up. Then I put "Reagan" and he came in at #1, and that's when I stopped taking the quiz.

	Bush is #5?!! Running the country into a huge deficit and two endless wars gets you the 5-slot on the "Greatest" Americans list?! WTF?!!!!

	Wow. Madison, John Adams not on the list, but GWB, Laura Bush, John Edwards and Jimmy Carter on the list. Billy Wilder, Frank Capra, John Ford, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Whitman, Frost, Cronkite and Murrow not on the list, Christopher Reeve, Limbaugh, Ellen Degeneres, Dr. Phil on the list. No Rockefeller, Hearst, Earl Warren, O'Connor, Cady Stanton, Emma Goldman. At least they didn't put Penny up to represent the Marshalls while leaving out George, John, and Thurgood. And how about Robert E Lee, MacArthur, Gloria Steinem and Lewis&Clark? Or Linus Pauling, Nobel Prizes for Chemistry and Peace? and Pat Tillman, while his sacrifice is noble, does not belong on this list any more than other soldiers who died in battle.

	Lance Armstrong would probably drop a few spots if this survey was repeated today.
