President Kermit T. Frog - ToddAndrews, on 08/28/2008, -2/+13Good stuff, although I thought you were going an entirely different direction with "greenest"
- zerton, on 08/29/2008, -0/+9The advertisements suck
- Diggitized, on 08/29/2008, -1/+7What? George Bush is not on the list? How could this be?
Kidding. But there's an interesting comment in the link about Nixon. - serif69, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6You're a tree?
- Tableboy, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6I didn't know Chocolate Chip Cookies were a US President!!
Stupid Advertisements... - ericnicolaas, on 08/29/2008, -4/+9I wonder which of the two current candidates has the best chance of joining this list? *cough*
- shutaro, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5How is Chester A. Arthur not on this list?
- WaCkYmAk, on 08/29/2008, -3/+8Nixon! Remember when conservatives were conservatives and not neocons?
- dekuscrub, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5Bush.
Okay, so his policies might not be "green," but his house sure is!
http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.asp - zenithmbr, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5what ads?
cue adblock plus plug....
seriously download the firefox extension its one of the best ones out there.
I was looking at a newspaper yesterday with a banner ad on the top of the front page and i got the urge to right click it and 'Adblock image'. - troyfoley, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4@groo68
They meant that the lyric was misquoted. - mbraynard, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Yeah, and he belongs on the list for that reason. Unlike others who call on America to conserve and then fly all over the world on private jets and have massive, energy sucking homes (Gore), W actually _walks the walk_.
- bubut, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Seriously? This is so ***** stupid.
- sadisticmind, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3I love whoppers!
- Gleemonex, on 08/29/2008, -2/+5I don't know about all this green malarkey but I do know that Grover Cleveland was our bluest president.
Also the fuzziest. - serif69, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Where by "malted milk", you mean "flame-broiled goodness on a bun".
- lkeg56demn, on 08/29/2008, -2/+5No contest. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson. They're all on dollar bills.
- groo68, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2ain't is antiquated but grammatically correct. Though it was originally a contraction for "am not" it can be used to replace "is not."
- ievanssc, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2You know our country's had a rough environmental history when our 5th "greenest" president is dubbed "The Reluctant Environmentalist"
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3Awww...watsamatter? Can't take a joke or did I hit a little too close to the truth? Lighten up moron.
- rz8472, on 08/29/2008, -4/+6Reagan allowed a loophole for the car industry to start mass-producing SUVs and even took down solar panels from the white house. Who the ***** takes DOWN solar panels? It's free energy.
- CivicTV, on 08/14/2009, -0/+2"So little was known about the continent by whites that the explorers were asked to look for evidence of still-living wooly mammoths." Sorry but this struck me as a very odd sentence, anyone else?
- nesagwa, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Hooray malted milk!
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -5/+7Barrack Hussein Obama is, BY FAR, the greenest...oh wait..is this an environmental piece?...my bad...I thought this was talking about politicians without any experience...ooops. But as long as I'm here...I may as well go there! :-)
- brock2020, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2O LOL.. I thought it said "greatest" presidents. Then I saw Carter and realized I misread.
- rz8472, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Yeah, who would've thought that Tricky Dick was actually a moderate Republican. Aside from the Watergate stuff he might actually not be half bad.
- FKnight, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Bush's place:
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape. - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3Oh, I'm sorry if HIS middle name scares you. I didn't give it to him. Oh, and that wasn't a misguided insult, that was well proven fact. Oh, did I mention it was just a JOKE? Again, lighten up.
- redfred18t, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2I hate Bush but the funny thing is his Texas Ranch is "greener" than the most candid green advocate, Al Gore's house. Hypocrisy at its finest.
- DonWigler, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1He's right they were terrible and tyrannical warmongers. And I would hardly call Jefferson green. He would have been against any intervention by the federal government into the lives of American Citizens on behalf of an ambiguous Gaia. He would laugh at the fact that the amount of water our toilets can use or energy our light bulbs use is regulated by a tyrannical government, actually he would probably cry.
- allaboutdatiki, on 08/29/2008, -1/+2Teddy's the man.
- 15charmaxwtf, on 08/29/2008, -2/+3Ewww, made me feel ill by just looking at it. What is this, state worship?
- SirBruce, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1Gee, what a surprise, 6 of them are the last 6 Democratic Presidents! And 2 of the 3 Republicans are Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, the only Republican Presidents Democrats are allowed to like. Jefferson was a given. The only bold pick on the list is Nixon, and realistically he did so much it wouldn't be fair to ignore his accomplishments, as much as he is hated otherwise.
But I see no credit give to Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush for their green accomplishments. - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -2/+3That was about the same time that Democrats were Democrats and not Marxists. **Obama**cough**
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -1/+2The Bush family shaves their bushes, that's not very green.
(so close.. someone help) - SirBruce, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1Yes, Nixon was quite a moderate, and his accomplishments in office are striking, yet his legacy is remembered only for Watergate. Nixon remainds to only Vice-President who was elected twice as President; others either only served one term, or two terms by succeeding to the office on the death of the prior President, but in each case only ever won one term via election. The fact that he made a "comeback" 8 years after losing the 1960 election is also an unparalled achievement in Presidential politics.
- rz8472, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1President C. Ahoy
The first president to be glorified in random but hilarious claymation commercials. - Quicksilver801, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1So Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are some of the worst presidents? Hmmm go and change Mount Rushmore
- facelesscoward, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1Living green isn't enough for a president. While it is important that everyone makes an effort to live green (Al Gore is undoubtedly a hypocrite), one person's impact is laughably insignificant compared to what a president with the right policies can do.
- hammerpants, on 08/29/2008, -1/+2An AD in the middle of a slideshow? Pathetic. Yes, I have adblock installed, but that's a lame marketing idea I won't reward with a digg or further clicks.
/from a marketing creative director - larryjr88, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1NEEDS MORE PAGES FOR MOAR ADS
- Notasheeple, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1Speaking of *cough*.........
George Washington should be on that list for his "investments" in hemp.
He actually grew green and probably smoked it to.
List fail. - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -1/+2Why is Obama's campaign so shakey that its hurt by his middle name? You think people could look past his name and skin color and actually look at his experience... oh, wait now I see why. So when they say "Obama is the one" they meant "He who can not be named"
- Coslenchip, on 08/29/2008, -1/+2Aside from Jefferson, I would have thought that this was a list of the ten worst presidents.
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -0/+1For the most part, this is a who's who of jerkoff liberals. Carter? Kennedy? Clinton? Hahahaha. I like the way the tree huggers threw Lincoln in there to try to associate with greatness. I also liked to see Tricky Dick. Great man. Bush/Cheney are both sportsmen and oilmen and have strong ties to the land. They have been an awesome duo.
- SirBruce, on 08/30/2008, -0/+1Jefferson gets way too much respect as a Founding Father. He was an amazing writer (not only the Declaration of Independence, but the Virginia Constitution as well), but most of his ideas for the nation were pretty wacky. He pretty much envisioned us all living pastoral lives as pacifist farmers in small villages, in a loose confederation with few national laws and no military to protect us. He had very little vision for industrialization or economic growth. He was terrible at his own finances, and he showed himself to be thoroughly dishonest with his dealings with John Adams. His best accomplishment as President was the Lousiana Purchase, for which he deserves credit, but otherwise I think he gets too much credit (and John Adams, not enough).
- zacbro, on 09/02/2008, -0/+1I apologize. If I could fix it I would. Truly.
- bmcnally, on 08/29/2008, -2/+3-1 for Carter. Honestly, hamstringing nuclear power and research was probably the absolute worst thing that could be done for the environmental movement.
