Yeah... Zero was so admired that he took a shellacking in November because people admire what he does.

Gotcha!

Sheesh!

Makes you wonder who took the poll?

What is there to admire about either of them? Hillary has accomplished nothing noteworthy. And Obama has pulled one thing after another that only hurts this country: His horrific handling of the Gulf Coast crisis, the fools he has appointed to top positions etc.

Now Obama allegedly praised the Eagles for "giving a second chance" to Michael Vick. Maybe next he will send a puppy to Vick.

These are polls of the typical brain dead morons on the street.
They should add to the poll....

Apparently, the pollsters ‘Galluped’ from Boston/New York to L.A./San Francisco without stopping anywhere in between to ask for directions.

Probably the exact same people Jay Leno ‘polls’ on the streets. The type that do not know New Mexico is one of the 50 states and that Cananda is NOT.

It DOES seem sort of like admiring two turds floating in a punch bowl.

What a crock. Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and brought to justice by a jury of military families who lost loved ones due to Obama’s insane rules of engagement.

At a low point in Clinton’s presidency a similar poll was trotted out as news. Clinton was the head of the list with 6% followed closely by the Pope.

I wondered at the time if the poll had also asked for the respondent’s LEAST admired, how how he would have fared. Probably a net difference of around 30% which would have made him the least admired person.

I suspect that the number of people that would say Obama when asked who their LEAST admired person is would top 40%.

So would a more honest poll show Obama as the most admired or the least?

“Probably the exact same people Jay Leno ‘polls’ on the streets. The type that do not know New Mexico is one of the 50 states and that Cananda is NOT.’

Well, even when I was living in the USA, I was not a TV fan, and watched very little. I had only Dish Network, mainly for my daughter.
I do remember a few of some “on the street interviews”.
I think some were by Howard Stern, the disgusting creep.

The answers were so bad, I figured that it had to all be made up shtick.
I now know that many Americans really are brain dead.

And another to the Saudi king.
