I couldn't help but laugh at a couple of those choices...which shall remain nameless. It's still a tough choice, but I had to go with JFK, though it was a tough pick between him and Martin Luther King Jr.

With no Thomas Jefferson up for voting, I went with Thomas Edison.

If it was "greatest human being who happened to be an American," I might have chosen someone else, but the person who best embodies being an American, who was most important to America becoming what it is today, who best defines America, Jefferson's my man.

 

[James Heard]

I'm a fan of Jefferson too...but still went with Washington, because y'know without him the whole American thing becomes a little irrelevant.

Of course, there was no "ME" option either.
