Obama not on Smithsonian’s ’100 most significant Americans’ list; liberals in shock over who is!

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.”

Obama didn't make the list? not surprised, it's a list that only includes Americans.

"Why isn't President Obama on the list?!" whines Raw Story in a high-pitched, mosquito-like drone. A: Because candidates must be Earthlings.

Ha, the goobernator and snap-on tool queen over _

[eldoradude]

George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Woody Wilson, Teddy R, Franky R, Ronnie Reagan All living...

There should have been 3 more categories:

armed forces
scientists
inventors

"...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.

It will even out. Someday, following his inevitable flight, BO will be able to brag that W never made the FBI "most wanted" list.

Just before obamatollah was annointed by satan to become our future dicktator.

[Repeal The 17th]

Oddly enough, the list of 100 Most Significant “AMERICANS” includes:
Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, Sacajawea, Tecumseh, Sitting Bull, and Pocahontas.

if hes told....he will doubtless compare himself to his underling Mrs Bidens little boy...Joey

I can see Bush, since he was pres. on 9/11 but honestly if you have Palin you should have Obama.

Even though she’s great and he stinks, that’s not the point of the list, is it?

Thanks, that was a great read, and I just posted it at

[isom35]

maybe one has to be an American to appear on the list.

[smoothsailing]

Secretariat made the list, a race horse!

It's a travesty, I tell ya. Far and away the greatest and most significant racehorse of all time was Man O' War.

country’s first black president

No really the first half black illegal alien pResident golfer.

Calling him a President would give all Presidents a bad name, including Carter
