Evidently Not A Lincoln Fan

[RJNorton]

If the people of the USA want to choose Jefferson ahead of Lincoln, thats their choice.
(IMO) the people of the world would place Lincoln ahead of any individual regardless of nationality. To paraphrase Edwin Stanton, now he belongs to us as much as to the USA.

Years ago there was a large poll of Americans, and they were asked to rate the Presidents. Lincoln was by far the most admired with an approval rating of 97%. Michael, I do not remember where Jefferson finished in the poll, but he definitely trailed Lincoln.
