Title: New Presidential Poll
Post by: PaperLuigi on February 16, 2009, 01:57:06 PM

Here is the new/most recent presidential poll. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_United_States_Presidents) Scroll down the page and take a look at the CSPAN poll. They do a new poll every 4 years or so. So how did your favorite president fare?

The two most recent presidents, Bush and Clinton, dropped and rose big, respectively. Bush is ranked 36 and Clinton is 15. My favorite president, Ronald Reagan, is ranked 10th.

What do you like about Ronald Reagan?

He starred with a Chimp.

It can't possibly be because of "trickle-down" economics.

I knew that if I claimed Reagan as my favorite president that I'd get questions.

He's not really my favorite president, I just wanted to see if you guys would completely ignore the title of the topic/subject at hand and ask.

So... you were trolling?

If you wanna call it that, then yes. It was not my intention to rub anyone the wrong way, however. I still want you guys to discuss the poll...just not about your preferences towards one president or another. I couldn't care less if your favorite president is Andrew Johnson.

Well, never mind then. There are several other threads where you can talk about this sort of thing, so perhaps this thread should be locked.

I have no idea why I'm saying this now, but I find this particular LD quote very funny.
