The “Smithsonian” magazine compiled a list of the “100 most significant Americans,” and to the dismay of his fan base President Obama failed to make the cut.
Adding insult to injury, former President George W. Bush made the list. But it gets even better, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was also included.
The liberal website Raw Story bemoaned the very idea that the Smithsonian Institution “decided that George W. Bush is a more ‘significant’ figure in U.S. history” than the exalted one.
Curiously, the only redeeming qualification Raw Story named when mentioning Obama is that he was the country’s first black president — former President Bill Clinton notwithstanding.
According to the website, there were eleven former presidents included, with Bush listed seventh. The others in the “Presidents” category include: Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Ulysses S. Grant, Ronald W. Reagan, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, James Madison, and Andrew Jackson.
But no Obama.
The “100 most significant Americans” list was determined by the magazine by using data compiled by Google engineer Charles B. Ward and Steven Skiena, a professor of computer science at Stony Brook University.
The magazine took the data and broke it down into categories of ten, making its own determination of who would be included.
But no Obama.
Raw Story commented on the limited reaction to the list before duly dismissing it as “yet another pointless ranking.”
And no Clinton. Haha.
That would be like putting Carter on the list.
wait until Obie gets wind of this.
The guy is a flat out idiot or worse and so are the idiots or worse who voted for him and especially the second time around.
Sad times
It’s just a guess but you probably have to be an American before you can make the 100 Most Significant Americans list.
Uh oh! Here comes an IRS audit for the head of the Smithsonian. How dare they not put obama as the most significant person of the year??!! Of forever even!

Double post, sorry about that
I know a certified moonbat who loves this magazine. I bet there will be no subscription renewal! LOL
A few months in a Gulag will improve their morale! /s;)
Or more like, after your administration is over. Obama still has until Innauguration in 2017, before he is out.
If Cindy Sheehan or Aeroheadiana Huffingatonaglue is on this list.. ;-}
He is very significant. As was Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Satan.
It depends what you mean by “significant.” He’s by far the worst troublemaker in the country.
Beating out Obama: L. Ron Hubbard, Muhammad Ali, Hulk Hogan, Charles Manson, Lee Harvey Oswald.
Roosevelt and Wilson should not have been on the list.
