Lines seem to be disconected or jamed for me as well. I will keep trying. I was so happy Walt made it into the top 25! I hope the online polls open soon.

Was I the only one who was disappointed in how the showed Walt Disney.
They did not talk about how he was the AMERICAN DREAM. Starting from his poor early life, to serving his country in World War I, to creating great cartoons and movies, to his hope in the future. Walt Disney was not just a man who created happiness in his movies and theme parks.
He was a true American: making cartoons for the government and allowing the army to move into his studio in World War II. Mainstreet USA also shows his American patriotism. Another is his great view of the future. All great Americans want the future to be better, and his belief in technology shows this. EPCOT was what he thought would be the next step in the American community, and look at how downsized EPCOTs are popping up all over the United States.
My last point, but I feel I am preaching to the choir: America has been defined by having great dreams and spreading them across the world. Hasn't Walt Disney done this? It may have not been seen in his lifetime, but he spread the Disney way across the world. He started American globalization.

I agree with you SpectroMan. And I wish they could have had some other "knowledgeable" people commenting on his behalf.

A combination of Lance Bass, JC Chasez and Clay Aiken as commentators didn't quite persuade or move me to vote for Walt. (Not that I need them to, anyway) But it would have been nice to have maybe Tom Brokaw explain Walt's greatness.

Barrack Obama. I'm sure he's a great guy, and I know he has an awesome story, but what has he really done for America? If he has done something, I apologize, but I don't know how he is one of the greatest Americans.
Even though George Lucas is just an entertainer, I think he should be higher on the list.
But anyway, GO WALT!

I think Walt is truly a facinating man not only because of his imagination and accomplishment of the "American Dream", but his flaws as well. More complicated than he first seems...no wonder he got along with Howard Hughes!
And yes, I know he didn't go to college, and neither did some of the other finalists. But I don't place my admiration in how educated or intellictual someone is, but rather what they have done for others. And Walt Disney has done more than enough for me.

I believe I have a decent education, and I think Bob Hope and Walt Disney are Great Americans. They are the two greatest entertainers who did the most for America. But, presidents, and authors, and generals made Walt Disney and Bob Hope the Great Americans they were. And we must not forget that the great nation of the United States would be no where if it were not for the American soldier.
