Just interested; who came up with this list? Anne
Interesting list.
I wonder where Abe Lincoln fell among his peers? I mean, what business did a back-woods Hick with Marfan's Syndrome have running for President, and who did he think he was, freeing all those slaves and leading our country through our most difficult times? Didn't he realize he was in over his head?
What a loser he was. I wish you were around back then so we could have gotten our priorities straight.
