PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans again this year name Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama as the Most Admired Woman and Most Admired Man living in any part of the world. Clinton has been the Most Admired Woman each of the last 11 years, and Obama has been the Most Admired Man five years in a row. First lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Condoleezza Rice are next in line behind Clinton on the Most Admired Woman list, while Nelson Mandela, Mitt Romney, Billy Graham, George W. Bush, and Pope Benedict XVI follow Obama as Most Admired Man.
These results are based on a Dec. 19-22 USA Today/Gallup poll. Gallup's "Most Admired" question is open-ended, asking Americans to name, without prompting, the man and the woman they most admire living in any part of the world. Gallup first asked Americans to name their Most Admired Man in 1946, and in 1948 expanded the question to both genders. The question was not asked in 1976, and in 1967 only the Most Admired Man question was asked.
The open-ended nature of the question produces the names of people with high top-of-mind name identification, most often hailing from the world of government and politics; the list also includes individuals who have become famous serving humanitarian causes and others whose fame comes from the business and entertainment worlds.
This year, seven of those on the top 10 Most Admired Man list are from the world of U.S. government and politics: Obama, Romney, the two George Bushes, Bill Clinton, Ron Paul, and John McCain. One is from international politics -- Nelson Mandela -- and three are from religious vocations -- Billy Graham, Pope Benedict XVI, and the Dalai Lama.

No.
And ombama is what?
Oh yeah, he's a marxist anti American traitor bent on destroying the USA.
But that's okay cause you see, Romney is the things you listed in your post, things most of us here do not abide by, ergo obama is a much better choice.....right?
Savvy people understand that the MSM -- and Gallup serves the MSM -- distorts reality. The reality is different than what the MSM says it is.
Yep, and now they're crying the loudest.
I'll say no more.
If you’re Caucasian you’ll need to avoid the Muslim terrorist group in the Philippines, Abu Sayaaf. I think they hide out in the surrounding islands..
I wish all of you the very best of what this new year might bring and thank you for, well, just being FReepers.
Happy New Year everyone!!
No the Romney supporters and backers are responsible for the disaster of Mitt Romney.
Romney should have never become a major personality in the republican party, and surely not it’s presidential candidate.
With 20 years of running for office and spending 55 million of his own, he has a single, failed term in office to show for his entire life.
A single term as a loser governor, who failed in his quest for reelection, and left office with 34% approval, damaged the state party, and turned the seat over to the democrats, and you guys thought that he was going to be president?
“Are the subhuman murderous troglodyte muslim filth getting a foothold over there, yet?”

Cebu is listed by Travel and Leisure magazine as the third best island in all of Asia.
The Philippines is still a third world country, and one has to be able to adapt.
oops. :(
Oh, cut the crybaby crap.
Enough Americans saw that the price of your "slim chance" was oxymoronic: elect liberalism to defeat liberalism. Romney lost because he was a loser.
He was the line in the sand, the bridge too far. Deal with it.
Obama , hillary etc : these evil, communist/democrat pieces of crap that have done nothing except destroy the U.S.A. and our liberties, our individual rights , our freedom, our birthright. And the media brainwashes idiots to admire those that have taken away individual rights, freedom, and opportunity from them.
Maybe the MSM is even moreso brainwashing the majority of decent Americans into thinking "everybody else" are idiots.
Or maybe you're one of those who think liberals don't have to cheat to win? That the votes harvested among illegals, multiple voting, reviving rolls of dead voters, folks who'd otherwise never vote bussed to polls or trolled for among old folks homes and mental institutions, ballots found in the trunks of cars, etc. etc. -- maybe you think those votes are so insignficicant because ......????
Liberalism has to cheat to win because if it didn't, its candidates would lose. They'd lose because we outnumber them in votes. Sure, there are a lot of Americans dumb enough to fall for the liberal line, but there are MORE who are smarter than that. The MSM and pop culture ignores them, and brainwashed folks think therefore what is ignored, doesn't exist.
Brainwashing works in more ways than one.
satan is very happy gallup... with his demons and you sumbiches.
LLS
They stole the election in 5 states with 385,000 votes. This is not rocket science. romney was just weak enough to allow them to do it.
LLS
Don’t forget the role of government schools that taught us how to be good little, big-government-loving, tree-hugging, diversity-sensitive, pseudoscience-trained citizens with high self-esteem.
Oh its just Gallup trying to redeem themselves with the WhiteyHut.
By the way noted on Drudge the headline per hitlery “
MAG: ‘Blinding headaches, problems with her vision, memory... “.
Poor hitlery and her memory..... Guess she won’t remember any of the arms skuldrugery around Benhgazi.
I think you have nailed it, with the possible exception of $4 trillion of new debt foisted on future generations of Americans. I mean, he was all teary about the victims of Sandy Hook elementary, yet the debt burden that he bequeaths to the remaining six year olds in this country should be crime in and of itself.
The writing is nonsense. Obama got 30%, Mandela 3%, and no other man was over 2%. Hillary got 21%, Michelle Obama 5%, Oprah 4%, Condoleezza Rice 3%, and no other woman over 2%. Mentioning Nelson Mandela, Mitt Romney, Billy Graham, George W. Bush, Pope Benedict XVI, and the Dalai Lama is just nonsense - typical media twisting of the story to a point where the message is fiction.
The skunk and the skank.
Admire? My arse.
