"President in US History" makes me want to toss my computer mouse.

Seriously, most popular in US history? How can they even attempt to make that claim?

1. It is hard using DU without a star. The ads just about sent me over the top.
Ignore the lot of them. I didn't realize just how many ads there are until my star went away this month. I think many folks here would be surprised!

2. An advertisement made a claim that was dubious?

5. And I'm sure they point to that for their copy, which is still a crock of shit
What an odd thing to poll on.

6. The Reagan myth seems to be some type of self-reinforcing meme...
