The Commander In Quotes


There is an interesting little story about the popularity of searches for presidential quotes, and I thought you might enjoy seeing who is on top.

It says, there are many ways to rate a president's legacy. Economists, historians, and political pundits can tussle for decades over the topic, and usually do. Here at the Buzz, we have various approaches to gauging a commander in chief's status in the popular imagination. One of them is tracking the online demand for his quotes.

Admittedly, this method is not scientific. It's not long range, either; we're examining one week's worth of "quotes" queries. But it's a snapshot of status, or, at least, recognition, from the thousands of people turning to the Web each day to find comments that inspire them or outrage them or make them laugh.

Check out the link and see if your favorite president made the list (hint,hint, my President is #1:)?!
