Obama And Hillary Are Most Admired By Those Surveyed12/26/08 Tags: Obama, Clinton, Political Issues From Gallup
» Commentary by Kris Lazaro (registered Democrat) As this political season winds down, the aftermath of political campaigning have left some to name president-elect Barack Obama as the most admired man living in the world today (Hillary Clinton came in first for females). Not surprisingly, Obama garnered 32% and Clinton receied 20%. What was surprising, though, is that George w. Bush (for males) was second in voting at 5% and Sarah Palin (for females) was also second in voting at 11%. This author fully understands why Palin was second, but George W. Bush? The same Bush who had, at times, the lowest presidential ratings in U.S. history? The same Bush who overlooked the Katrina incident, sent our troops into an un-ending war, etc.? Wow. Who are these people who voted him second, while others like Pope Benedict XVI, Nelson Mandela, and the Dalai Lama were ranked lower? On a lighter note, and not surprisingly, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were the most admired. Both had historic campaigns and surely have impacted and inspired many lives.
