Bush & Clinton Most Admired in America

[Kelly]

Agreed! This poll could be "legit" but who did they question? A small republican town in Texas? Then of course Bush will be "admired" and for him to do it YEARS in a row is a bunch of crock!

Usually in a poll of this type from Gallup, they do a "cross-section" of the US, they don't do it in a specific region, unless its something like a poll for a specific primary.

It would do them no good to take it from one town in Texas.

You have to look at the %.....YES I would question it if the % for Bush was anything over 50%, but wasn't anywhere near that...

Geez Kel! What do you have against me? First you won't remove this flag off my account and now you just try to discredit me...........for no reason. I thought you was cool, guess not.

According to the Annual Gallup Poll for 2007, President Bush and Hillary Clinton are the Most Admired Man and Woman in the United States respectively. This marks the 6th straight year that these two have won this award.

It's rather hard to believe with all the anti-Bush rhetoric that he would still be named the Most Admired Man for a 6th straight year but I suppose a number of Americans still look up to him for their own reasons. Hillary I can understand among the female population.

You can find this article on CNN, Newsweek or Gallup to see for yourselves. I just chose CNN at random.

Do polls really matter? They are rich and powerful, of course they are admired.

When you make stupid comments like the ones you have filled this thread with you get treated accordingly.

Not to mention the poeple who had to be told "Dr. McDreamy" was not a valid answer.

You are actually callinga a Gallup Poll, the most respected poll world wide, used by countless respected magazines and news programs worldwide BS????

Whether you agree with the poll or not is really irrelevant.....its a poll of a group of people. Polls in general are only a snapshot....but to call it BS, simply because you disagree is hmmmmm....biased? lmao

Oh, and I love the Homer quote up there Obi....lol

I'd have to agree with this.

Claiming a Poll is rigged simply because you don't agree with the results is the worst kind of cop out. Rather conveinent to block out anything you don't agree with but if you insist on grasping at throse frail conpiracy straws, 1 year maybe but 6? I think not.

What I find to be more interesting is the fact that Bush and Clinton have son this for 6 years in a row and there's been little to no publicity over it aside from a 15 second news blurb here and there, if that. Meanwhile any news of lowered approval ratings or anything slightly disconcerting is splashed on the front page of any newspaper or at the top of a news braodcast. The simple fact of the matter is that the news is unaccountably biased. So what we have is a corrupt media reporting on a corrupt administration.

So which one's Pot and which one's Kettle?

I came close to calling shenanigans when I saw Clinton up there, but I still trust Gallup. Just wierd is all.

 

[luke1234]

Now if it was bill clinton then i might have agreed with this but uhhh na

 

[Raiden]

bush most admired??? RIGGED!

Yeah.

 

[Obi-Ron]

I distrust all polls, the outcome is irrelevant.

 

[Aristotle]

Bush and Hillary the most admired man and woman in the USA? I've said Americans are ******s for a long time.

[LuiECuomo]

The sad thing is, if I heard the words "I am your father" come out of that thing's mouth, I'm sure it would sound pretty accurate.

 

[YsoSerious]

Was the poll result for Bill or Hillary as the most admired man?

 

[kedrell]

Someone should give her green hair, bleach-white skin, and redden her lips. Darth Vader is really the Joker, who in actuality is really Hillary!t:

Bush has had things happen in his two terms that President Bill Clinton did not have to deal with.

Less than a year into his first term, we were attacked by a terrorist faction and became witness to a tragedy worse than Pearl Harbor. I believe his administration has made progress on that front (Department of Homeland Security) and ultimately has made America a better place.

Also, there was the threat of nuclear terror from the Middle East. Negligence was what brought 9/11 upon us, so the Bush administration acted. And because of it, we have thrown Saddam Hussein out of power and have put Iraq towards the path of peace and democracy. We are the strongest nation in the world and we have a responsibility to help those who need it most.

And before anyone says that the war in Iraq is a disaster (and I agree, that it has not gone well for our nation), tell me your candidate's plan for success. Has Obama ever even commented on the war, other than to bash Bush? Clinton's ideals are optimistic, but are they actually possible? You cannot simply pull men out and leave Iraq in such a fragile state. If that occurs, then the deaths of our soldiers will have meant nothing.

You will never find a President to have a perfect career in the White House, but I find it reasonable that Bush is America's most admired man.

I actually agree with this completely. He faced a challenge that the majority of of our past Presidents wouldn't have dreamt of and he made a decison that he felt was the best for the security of this nation.

Hindsight's a ***** unfortunately.

 

[Obi-Ron]

I believe his administration...ultimately has made America a better place.

How so?

Precisely! I would dare say no president in history would have dreamt of taking over Iraq in pursuit of the 911 terrorists.

 

[Obi-Ron]

Precisely! I would dare so no president in history would have dreamt of taking over Iraq in pursuit of the 911 terrorists.

I really wouldn't be so sure of that. It could very well be (and I suspect is the case) that the powers that be were just waiting for an excuse to start going after Middle East interests.

I agree, since Iraq didn't have a damn thing to do with 9/11.
