Fiscal cliff and medical issues aside, President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton each have something to celebrate at the end of 2012. The leaders were named ‘Most Admired Man of the Year’ and ‘Most Admired Woman of the Year,’ respectively, in a Gallup poll.

Clinton, who was mentioned by 21 percent of those polled, has taken the title for 11 straight years, and 17 years total. She was followed by First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Condoleezza Rice and Sarah Palin. Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, Queen Elizabeth II and Kate Middleton also made the list.

What’s 0bama admired for - being a corrupt thug without the interests of the US at heart? And Hilliary - for not divorcing her sexual predator husband and being one of the least effective Secretaries of State in US history?

Another American Idol Dancing with the Stars brain fart. Wasnt the presidential election in 2008 and again in 2012 enough? People still as stupid as ever no matter how much information is out there. I think it is prime time we reintroduce the “pet rock” I see many takers (pun)!!!!!

What “poll”? Has anyone here ever been asked about how they think, believe or feel? More than likely none of you have, and that includes myself. IMO, polls are nothing more than fabricated falsehoods generated to sway others thinking.
