PRINCETON, NJ -- President Barack Obama is Americans' Most Admired Man of 2010, substantially ahead of the former presidents, iconic religious leaders, and others who fill out the top 10 list. Obama first became Americans' Most Admired Man in 2008, shortly after his election as the nation's 44th president, and has held the title since then. I had to laugh because even the Republicans picked him second, above Beck. Hillary Clinton is the Most Admired Woman this year, her ninth consecutive year at No. 1. Clinton has dominated the Most Admired Woman title for most of the past two decades, earning 15 No. 1 rankings since her first appearance on the list in 1992. She joins Eleanor Roosevelt and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis as first ladies whose strong popularity has extended well beyond her husband's presidency, although, given Clinton's post-White House political career, perhaps for different reasons. http://www.gallup.com/poll/145394/Barack-Obama-Hillary-Clinton-2010-Admired.aspx? A potential party ticket?

How do you admire a man who republicans believe... and im saying this only because i have seen conservative posters make these types of comments...is an idiot, in their opinion?

Moonhead -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 1:32:00 PM)
Obama or Beck? They've called the Kenyan much worse than an idiot over the last twelve months...

tazzygirl -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 1:34:12 PM)
Obama. Some conservatives tend to love the drivel Beck dishes out.

Moonhead -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 1:37:03 PM)
Do the conservatives admire anybody besides Reagan these days?

tazzygirl -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 1:38:55 PM)
George W Bush came in second with 5%.

Moonhead -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 1:40:23 PM)
So they couldn't even plump for the literate Bush who could read a speech without making himself look like a total cunt? Dearie me.

General rule with polling is that it gives information mostly about the people questioned. So, what we should conclude? People out of touch with reality?

In the 2nd year of his Presidency, Bush was Most Admired by 28%. Wonder what the racial breakdown of this is?

tazzygirl -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 2:35:08 PM)
Why would you want to make this a racial issue?

truckinslave -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 2:42:02 PM)
It's not an issue, exactly, just a lefthanded remark about the racist votoing patterns of black people.

tazzygirl -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 2:44:52 PM)
Racist voting patterns. Sorta like the voting patterns of Catholics? Jews? Whites? Southerns? IF what you claim is true, then any time a black politician steps forward to run against a white politician, the white politician will always lose in areas that are predominantly black, and win in areas that are predominantly white. Got proof of that?

truckinslave -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 2:50:15 PM)
tg, I don't think there is any serious person who can claim there isn't a strong tendency for black people to "vote black". It's just the way it is. I would feel very comfortable making book that at least 90% of black Americans voting for MA man in the above poll voted for a black person, and that at least 90% of those voted for either 0bama0 or MLK....

If that was the case, why wasnt Michelle higher in the polls?

Not enough to sway sometig that much. Deal with it, Obama didn't win just because of the black vote. He won because of the "Dubya is an idiot vote"

truckinslave -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 7:59:47 PM)
12% of the population... and half of his 22%

Jeffff -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/27/2010 8:45:13 PM)
You would fire them regardless of race I imagine. Tell me, is there anywhere you go where people take you seriously? You might want to go there.

TreasureKY -> RE: Most Admired Man, Woman of 2010 (12/28/2010 5:52:41 AM)
In other words, almost 80 percent of the 1019 people asked admire most someone other than President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Actually, that percentage is higher considering that the poll combined both people's first and second choices. Don't you just love statistics? [;)]
