mLine 374:
Line 374: − − :::::::It's a bit early to add Palin to the list. She wasn't elected VP, and her resignation as governor of Alaska makes her record of accomplishment there harder to assess than if she had stayed on. The next stages of her career may offer examples to earn her a place on this list, but as we've seen with Obama, it can be embarrassing to give an award before the person's objectively earned it. − :::::::My suggested example would be the first responders on 9/11, who gave meaning to the phrase "above and beyond the call of duty". I recall that one of the policemen who died that day was turning his badge in to take another job, and when he heard what happened took it back, went to the scene to help, and sacrificed his life aiding others. --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 22:20, 26 December 2009 (EST)

::::::I cheerfully admit that, being British, my knowledge of USA history is not comprehensive. But it doesn't seem very polite to describe my description of Chester Arthur as sarcastic. I understood he rose from complete obscurity on the national political stage to become a much-respected president. Clearly I got that one wrong and I defer to your expertise. I shall try to think of some "Best of the Public" in a different field of achievement. [[User:AlecD|AlecD]] 19:36, 26 December 2009 (EST)
