ALL Presidents will be in the history books 200 years from now dumb ass. Including the worst and least influential.
We tend to put too much weight on people in Recent history.....by recent i mean the people who have a documented history that we can trace.... What about the inventor of the wheel? How how the first person to figure out how to make a fire? First people to create language, etc.... We would still be living in the stone ages without those things... these people were far more influential then is even possible of someone in the last 2000 years....Though Al Gore will probably be up there since he invented the internet.....
I don't think i'll forget seeing the shit throwing monkey at the zoo when I was 6, but I don't think that makes him or obama "influential".
Maybe Zuckerberg should be on that list. I mean facebook has 901 million users. Islam has 1.4 billion. In 3 or 4 years facebook will pass Islam.
facebook is just the dotcom bubble dejavu. Nobody in their right mind of age in the 90's would have fallen for that piffle.
