When I read the words "Greatest American Ever" I immediately thought of Louis Armstrong.

I guess I'm basically saying above that I put no thought into whatsoever and just plucked a name out of my brain but it's still a pretty good choice don't you think?

no they don't have to be born here, and I watched this last night after i read the thread. And it's the worst list that I've probably ever seen. EVER. It's total shit. Not even good in "it provokes arguments kinda ways".

really? it might be my inherent dislike of the guy (large southern family - i wasn't allowed to say his name in my grandmother's house growing up), or maybe he's about to become the second worst president we've ever had.

good call on the Audie Murphy, however. and LBJ.
