Showing Original Post only (View all)President Obama is the Most Admired Man in the World for 6th Year in a Row [View all]
A new Gallup poll will be more bitter medicine for the Right. After a solid year of harping on Benghazi lies in an attempt to bring down both President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a new Gallup poll finds both ranked as the number one man and woman Americans most admire.
Every year since 1948, Gallup asks Americans to name the man and woman living anywhere in the world they admire most. This years poll was conducted December 5-8, and for the 6th year in a row, Obama has been named the Most Admired Man.
Yes, thats Most Admired Man, over Senator Ted Cruz and former President George Bush and empty chair man Clint Eastwood and the President won over Mitt Romney. Again. Of course, its a trend that the sitting President wins the Most Admired category, and even George W. Bush won it year after year when he was in office. But Hillary Clinton was often the Most Admired Woman while Bush was President.

OP
You do know those haters are just opposed to his administration's policies, right?

This can't be. This poll couldn't have been vetted by DU's Libertarian/Green Wing.

What a pissant he is. I don't understand DU's fascination with his 1% Citizens United lovin' ass.

I guess that is the 1% contingent! Just stumbled on your post today. Pissant indeed!

I'm glad, he should be. He shares the top of my list with quite a few others.

So there was a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth? Someone had a problem with Obama being popular?

He may be the most admired man in the world, but the headline is wrong
