A: Is for Admired???????

Hillary Clinton narrowly edged Sarah Palin as the woman Americans admired most in 2009, while President Obama is the landslide winner among men for the second consecutive year. In the annual USA Today/Gallup poll, the secretary of state continues her reign as the most admired woman in the eyes of Americans, with 16% selecting her. If that wasn't bad enough Sarah Palin took 15% of the survey as the woman they admire most on the globe. I personally, want to know who was surveyed? Not one women I know, would ever vote for Ms. Palin as admirable. DIsgusting, over-rated, over publicized, yes but admiration takes doing something we can be proud of. What has she done? YThey also state that in 2008, Palin also ranked second behind Clinton, with 11% of Americans mentioning her. Who knew of her? Oprah Winfrey is #3 , with 8%, and First Lady Michelle Obama 4th. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Queen Elizabeth II followed, with 2%.

Among the men, Obama wins, with 30%. Last year, Obama won the top spot, with 32%, and both years' totals are among the highest Gallup has measured for a winner. Former President Bush took 39% in 2001, however, remains the all-time high for most admired man. Bush finished second again this year, after winning the honor from 2001-2007. So again who is voting?
Others in the top 10 include, former South African President Nelson Mandela, radio and TV personality Glenn Beck, and Pope Benedict XVI. Beck came in 4th, with 2%, edging out the pope, who came in 5th. Golf pro Tiger Woods tied former president Bill Clinton, both of whom have endured high-profile sex scandals, for 10th place. This year is Woods' first time ranking in the survey's top 10, despite the sex scandal that has dominated international headlines since late November.

They say they telephone 1,025 adults nationwide and this gives us a consensus. Considering Sarah Palin made #2 I say they either polled the Christian right wing or the cast from Delverance.
