What a nice way to start the week đ
Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state who leads all 2016 presidential polls, ranks dead last on a new top 10 poll of who Americans admire most, and at the bottom of who the world admires most, behind celebs like Angelina Jolie and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to the new YouGov.com poll conducted for the Times of London, Microsoft’s Bill Gates is the most admired person in the world, ahead of Pope Francis and President Obama, the runner-up on that list. Clinton ranks 27th on YouGov’s world list.
On the U.S. list, she does even worse, coming in 10th of 10 listed and most named. Among Americans, Pope Francis is the most admired, followed by the president, evangelist Billy Graham and former President George W. Bush. Even Rush Limbaugh, the nation’s most popular conservative talk radio host, beat Clinton. He came in ninth.
For the poll, YouGov went to 13 countries that hold more than half the world’s population and asked people to name who they admire most. Only those living were allowed to be listed…U.S. secrets tattletale Edward Snowden appears up on some lists, including Russia and Germany.
“Dead last” â #10 â behind a list of, for the most part, despicable men. Pretty good, me thinks. I’d feel great about myself if I were in the top 500!
What makes me despondent is the fact that Obama, Bill Gates, Bush, Oprah, Willy & Rush all made the top 10 (sorry, not a fan of any of them and don’t know much about Graham).
Of course, AT THIS POINT, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE??
Next, she’ll drop off the list, get out of politics and go retire to some remote corner of the globe. We can dream can’t we?
Well, she ainât about to win no popularity contest with those hideous pant suits and shower curtain type patterns for blouses. Honestly, what possessed her to put on those glasses for what looks like a formal function? That was probably one of her $500k speaking engagements. It must be nice to not care about what you look like. With all of this womanâs money, will one of her friends (Uma) please call the fashion police at âWhat Not To Wearâ? I donât get it.
It’s worse than you think, Kitten – it was the swearing in of an assistant secretary for public affairs at the State Department.

I hate to throw cold water on the fire, but…. yes, it’s heartwarming to see Hillary at the bottom of the heap, but what’s this about Barack Hussein Obama being *more* admired than Billy Graham ? These LIV’s (Low Information Voters) are even dumber than I thought…
Exactly, Shifra. BO’s placement on that list is disturbing.
I do understand why any of these people are on this list. They belong on most mired list.
I like seeing Hill dead last on the list. Itâs worse than not being on it at all. Sort of like the deliberate insult of leaving a one cent tip for a rude and incompetent server.
