Obama, Hillary Named "Most-Admired men" in 2011
Gallup Most Admired Poll: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton repeat winners in annual poll.
And your most-admired man and woman of 2011 are … President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The two again took home their respective titles in the latest edition of the annual Gallup/USA Today poll that asks Americans to name, without prompting, the living man and woman they most admire in any part of the world.
Here was the women’s top 10: Hillary Clinton, 17 percent; Oprah Winfrey, 7 percent; Michelle Obama, 5 percent; Sarah Palin, 4 percent; Condoleezza Rice, 3 percent; Laura Bush, 2 percent; Margaret Thatcher, 2 percent; Ellen DeGeneres, 2 percent; Queen Elizabeth II, 2 percent; and Michele Bachmann, 2 percent.
And the men’s leader board: Barack Obama, 17; George W. Bush, 3; Bill Clinton, 2, Rev. Billy Graham, 2; Warren Buffett, 2; Newt Gingrich, 1; Donald Trump, 1; Pope Benedict XVI, 1; Bill Gates, 1; and (Mormon prophet) Thomas Monson, 1.
The fact that Obama topped the list was far from a surprise; a sitting or newly-elected president has earned the most-admired distinction in each of the past 31 years and 55 out of the 65 times the survey has been conducted.
Hillary Clinton’s position was even less surprising. She’s been named the most-admired woman in the poll 16 times since 1993. She finished second the only three times she failed to top the list during that run (losing out to Mother Teresa in 1995 and 1996 and Laura Bush in 2001).
Full results here. Take to the comments to name your own picks.

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

I think this is more brand recognition than Admiration. I bet most of the people wouldn't have a legitimate reason for admiring them other than popularity, power or wealth and only because they are the only names they could think of in those categories....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Was listening to a talk radio station while driving to visit family. Hillary was mentioned as a potential 2012 VP candidate -- to replace Biden who many, according to the radio personality, believe is a liability to the ticket.
Robert Reich: Obama-Hillary 2012
By Chris Bedford - The Daily Caller Published: 9:37 AM 12/29/2011
In the 2012 presidential election, the Republican candidate will likely face the long-rumored, Obama-Hillary super ticket, predicts longtime political guru and Bill Clinton administration veteran Robert Reich.
“Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden swap places,” Reich wrote in Business Insider on Wednesday. “Biden becomes secretary of state — a position he’s apparently coveted for years. And Hillary Clinton, vice president. ”
Insisting that his prediction is not based on any “inside information,” Reich wrote that such a move would be “because [President Barack] Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that’s been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that.”

Yep, this is more about name recognition that actual admiration from the public. But, if Hillary were on the ticket, it would prolly seal his re-election chances. She would be to Hussein what Cheney was to Bush. But, it'll never happen.
Obama/Ayers 2012!!!

If Obumo wants to be reelected he will ask her to be VP. Robert Reich may not always be right (for sure) but he is no dummy either. Obumo has lied so much, broken so many promises and genneraly been such a woosy douche bag that there is a rash of such "buyers remorse" in this country that he has no chance without her. That is saying a lot also. She is who she is and he "needs" her OMG. However, her name will reignite the lib's to get back out and vote again and thats a fact.
So, Mitt or Newt or Ronny or Johnny or Ricky or whomever it is best pray he dosent swap her and Joey.
I cannot be blamed for what I say. So don't listen to what I write because I am clearly
