Do you think John Adams would have voted for Obama? Nope.

"John Adams" is the best piece of television I have seen in my 46 years of life. There is no comparison.

Benjamin Franklin needs his own series, and a national holiday. He is truly one of the greatest human beings ever to have lived. However, John Adams, Jefferson, Washington, and Abigail Adams were all heroes as well. Abraham Lincoln? Why does everyone think he was so great? Benjamin Franklin was an abolitionist and never gets any credit for petitioning Congress to end slavery.

JOHN ADAMS..WAS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE INDEPENDENCE....WITH GEORGE WASHINGTON, FRANKLIN, AND JEFFERSON.......BUT IF IT WASN'T FOR JOHN ADAMS SPEAKING OUT

DOING HIS SPEECHES, HARD-HEADED AS HE WAS....I DON'T THINK, OR SHOULD i SAY WE WOULDN'T OF ACHIEVE IT AS SOON AS WE DID..

@evergreenpotato WoW. I didn't know that. That is interesting.

[evergreenpotato]

@dk410 He may want to someday, as he is a blood relative of Lincoln--through Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks.

@TheThreekeys I don't think Adams would have voted for any candidate that makes it to the platform today...

@hamoudalnasser

let we the people demand those things on principal

let us not restrict the freedom of others by path of legislating a false supply of these things, the highest of hubris to legislate posterity.

I know this comment is from a year ago, but I have to comment. I love the fact that even if they weren't "Christians" from today's standpoint, they had their own beliefs. Beliefs that they studied hard to come to the conclusions that they did. Just because they didn't believe in the Bible,( in its entirety) didn't mean that they weren't Christians.

[hamoudalnasser]

Would John Adams have voted for Obama? Yes--because he would have recognized a thoughtful person willing to improvise and experiment and would have been repulsed by the "real Americans" jingoism of the other side. These kinds of shows are great, but we do no service to posterity by simply bemoaning our current system. Let us have more high quality shows and have stricter public service requirements for private broadcasters. Let us build a more honest and thoughtful political culture.
