Default "Obama beats out Jesus Christ as America's hero."

I don't even know how George W. Bush; and Ronald Reagan ranked ahead of President Kennedy.

Well come to think of it how Obama ranked ahead of Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King Jr. is a little beyond me actually.

So it easier to comprehend. I will just put the list in order here.

1. President Obama
2. Jesus Christ
3. Martin Luther King Jr.
4. Ronald Reagan
5. George W. Bush
6. Abraham Lincoln
7. John McCain
8. President Kennedy
9. Chesley Sullenberger
10. Mother Theresa

So who is your number one hero?

A Harris poll.....polling only 2634 adults...ON LINE.

with that kind of poll to claim that America chooses him over Jesus is ignorant and in no way believeable.

I agree with Rich, the results were taken online. Anyone could've placed those votes. Either way, it's still pretty sad seeing names like John McCain and George Bush ahead of others, ex. Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Galileo and Princess Diana (who weren't even on the list).

Why would Princess Di be anywhere close to those people? But than Ive never understood the fascination over her.

I took a Thornes poll of 1 and the results are CONSIDERABLY different

I think Nick and Rich should be #1 and #2 on this list. Orren would definately be a top 100 though for sure.

Remember this is a popularity contest, nothing more. I supect the average age of those polled was in there twenties or younger. Since some of the people(stars of previous generations) who were in the top 10 years before are now out of the top 20.
