Yesterday I was motivated to pose that question after Max Auffhammer suggested that Barack Obama be named the greenest. My opinion is that President Obama tried his darnedest to be the greenest but didn't receive enough cooperation to achieve that title. My vote went to Richard Nixon for the EPA, CAA and CWA (command and control be damned). I also nominated George H. W. Bush for the CAAA of 1990 (and I was reminded today of no net loss of wetlands) and Teddy Roosevelt for the National Parks. The results are in ("dozens" of votes are reported below the jump) and Nixon wins with 46% of the 28 votes. Roosevelt was second with 21% followed by Obama (14%) and Bush (7%). Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Franklin D. Roosevelt each received one write-in vote.
Thanks for your votes!
