Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama continue to be named by Americans as the Most Admired Woman and Most Admired Man living today in any part of the world. Clinton has been the Most Admired Woman each of the last 10 years, and Obama has been the Most Admired Man four years in a row. Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin, and Condoleezza Rice round out the top five Most Admired women, while the top five Most Admired men also include George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Billy Graham, and Warren Buffett.
President Obama wins by a pretty big margin there, as does Hillary Clinton. And it's really saying something that Mitt Romney is nowhere near that list, while Newt, The Donald, Moose Lady and the Bachmanniac are. I'm betting if you take a look back at this list the year before each Presidential election, you'd find some pretty embarrassing people on that list.
It also has to really piss off the wingers that this is year number 20 Hillary Clinton is on the list, now officially passing Nancy Reagan's 19 times in the top 10. The Reverend Billy Graham has been on this list a staggering 55 times now...but has never finished first.
Number 11 this year for the men? Tim Tebow. Mitt is 13 behind The Dalai Lama. McCain, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Jesse Jackson, John Kerry, and Chinese Premier Liu Xiaobo all down the list too.
For the ladies, Angelina Joile is 11, followed by Princess Kate. Gabby Giffords is 15, and Nancy Pelosi edges out Nancy Reagan at 21 and 22, respectively. Somehow, J-Lo is 17, but I blame that damn Fiat commercial.
Oh, and this is the first year Michelle Obama has edged out Sarah Palin since the two of them appeared on the list in 2008. Palin was in the double digits the last three years. Oops.
