How could so many Irish or Irish American have no pride and consider Obama 1st a "Top Leader" 2nd of "Irish Ancestry". His irish roots are so minute that he does not even consider himself white never mind Irish. In all his school application he has always checked off black. Oh, but then that was maybe to get ahaed of all his white Irish cousins who had to get in the back of the line. Wake Up!!!

You have to be kidding. Obama is disaster. John Kennedy was a very popular President but he wasn't President long enough for us to know whether he was a great President. Ronald Regan was a great president.

Love the so-called "International Poll" of Britons and Americans. Not really an international poll or reflective of what the result would be if it was a real international poll!

Thank God they forgot Woodrow Wilson, but my first vote would have been for the Duke of Wellington, or Daniel O'Connell, the liberator, who inspired Gandhi. Leaving out Daniel O'Connell is like leaving Lincoln off the list of greatest Americans. Then there's the "small" matter of Edmund Burke. Who says the Irish never forget.

High King Brian Boru, the first and only ruler to unite Ireland, lived the greatest Irish life! The rest are midgets compared to him.

Jack Kennedy certainly deserved the # 1 spot among popular leaders. I'm very proud that he was my Commander-in-Chief when I honarably (and proudly) served in the Marine Corps. I don't know why the current White House occupant, a strong supporter of abortion and same-sex marriage, is included in this list. He should be thrown out along with Marxits Guevara, and be replaced by Andrew Jackson and Fr. Flanagan of Boystown.
