You know the old saying. You might think you're big, but you ain't all that big until some poll of dubious credulity that nobody really cares about lists you alongside a mythical Middle Eastern savior figure and a great man who most people actually know next to nothing about. (It's probably mostly a South Jersey saying.)

When The Harris Poll asked a cross-section of adult Americans to say whom they admire enough to call their heroes, President Barack Obama was mentioned most often, followed by Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King.

Wow, that's pretty impressive! He's up there with JC and MLK. President Obama should consider that a real honor.

I mean, it's not like he's also up there with people like the worst president in modern American history, an airplane pilot who's most famous for crashing a plane into a major city's river and an egomaniacal holy woman who built her reputation on the backs of the poor people she was supposedly helping?

Others in the top ten, in descending order, were Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Abraham Lincoln, John McCain, John F. Kennedy, Chesley Sullenberger and Mother Teresa.

Oh.

Well, it's still pretty cool to be named, I'm sure.
