In the annals of America society and sport, Jackie Robinson for having the courage to accept a position literally every other American (black or white) would have accepted or Walter O'Malley for having the courage to give him the position no other American would have given him?

O'Malley deserves some credit, and don't forget about Branch Rickey, the GM, who really stood by him.  But, the lion's share of credit has to go to the man himself, Jackie Robinson.  He truly had everything riding on it, and suffered all the taunts, racial epithets, beanballs, dirty play, etc.  That he started his MLB career relatively late, went through all that, and still put up HOF numbers is truly remarkable!

Well, Karl Rove doesn't seem to understand the term "confidentiality", so he's out.\n\nDubya can't seem to get ANY job without the help of his dad, which leads me to believe the interview wouldn't go very well.\n\nCheney would probably be at the top of the list, except for the fact that he's the type of leader who expects his people to do what he's not willing to (check his draft record in the Vietnam war).\n\nI have to go with D:  None of the above.

Bin Laden if your an American. Otherwise i'd say the most sought after are the reminents of Hitlers high ranking officers at large that are still being tracked down and have been searched for for over half a century

Whichever one was easiest to carry or closest. Failing that, I suppose i would do the mental equivalent of flipping a coin.\n\nYou are a total fathead. How is anyone supposed to answer this?\n\nIncidentally, I am an American.

Reggie White, Minister of Defense. NFL Football player. Now deceased.  A great athlete but a man of God first.

By tradition everyone - no matter what their rank - salutes anybody awarded the Victoria Cross. \n\nIn the US - military tradition holds that any person awarded the Medal of Honor be saluted, even if you outrank him.

I grew up with Rickey Henderson as my favorite baseball player ever.  I loved the guy, hell i even had his book, and comic book.  OH yeah, he had a comic book.  Anyways he dominated the game, the best leadoff hitter of all time, hands down.  He should be a first ballot hall of famer.  Lets not forget his records in leadoff game home runs either.

George Sisler is my pick\n\nA sharp batting eye and extraordinary fielding ability at first base led Ty Cobb to call George Sisler "the nearest thing to a perfect ballplayer." The owner of an engineering degree, Sisler was one of baseball's most intelligent and graceful players, starring predominantly for the St. Louis Browns. He won two batting titles, hitting over .400 both times, and amassed an astounding total of 257 hits in 1920, a record that stood for 84 years until surpassed by Ichiro Suzuki in 2004. He had a 41-game hitting streak in 1922, hit .300 or better 13 times and had a sizzling .340 lifetime batting average.

Jimmy Carter\n\nHas great taste in Baseball teams,but as commander in chief,one of,if not the worst ever.Hostage crisis,inflation,and a general unwillingness to lead.

By far, jimmy carter.  jimmy carter had his head in the sand. but he is the standard for the liberals/democrats today!  negotiate sit down to the table and negotiate away ...  pleeezze.  actually Bobby Kennedy was shot by an Islamic militant Sirhan Sirhan.  so they delcared war on us back in the 60's (Johnson was president) just before nixon was elected... they had to wait for Carter to come along before they could act up again..\n\n\nand in case you don't know the generals on the ground advise the president and he makes the decision based on the information they provide.  they make requests and he grants.  please.  we were loosing the revelotionary war until one pivotal battle, likewise with the civil war, and WWII.  please....you don't know what it takes to win a war either..

That’s a tough question since both are iconic figures who contributed so much to the betterment of humanity. I suppose I would save Gandhi because his vision was far broader in scope than Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired the civil rights movement in this country, but Gandhi compelled the act of civil disobedience around the world. If you look around the globe, at any group, in any country, where civil obedience is practiced, outside of the United States, they will always cite Gandhi as their primary example and inspiration.

I'd have to say Terrel Owens and Barry Bonds. Terrel because he brags and he's cocky. Bary Bonds because who broke records and he was awsome only because he took steroids/drugs.
