I guarantee you if those Americans who were polled were asked WHY they consider B. Obama so admirable, as in, What does he stand for that you find to admire him for?, almost no one would be able to put two sentences together for a reason, and the first one would be, "He looks good and he got elected to something in DC."

So true, Gretchen. Sad, but true.

Absolutely. The really hilarious thing is that poll purports to reveal who Americans think are the most admired people IN THE WORLD. Of the roughly 6 billion people on the planet, I'd wager less than 10 million ever even heard of Barak Obama. Included in that 10 million would be his family, friends, associates, colleagues, employees, and constituents. The rest are those of us who pay some attention to American politics.

You left out that he's black. It's very important. *rolling my eyes*
