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.

Heya J-Mac. :2wave: You can bet on Bilbo contacting the Examiner to go after that writer. Just sayin.
 
Re: Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bus

Wow....Obama was narrowly edged out by Bill Gates and is the second most admired person in the world. That must get your panties a little in a tizzy...I'm suspecting.

"panties in a tizzy"? What the hell does that mean? :lol: Mixing metaphors should be left to the adults....

Anyway, nah, I bet it in no way upsets me as much as Limbaugh out ranking Hillary....:lamo

Yes, least respected among a list of 10 people. All she has to do is be more respected than whoever else runs. None of whom are on that list.

I'm sure Hillary would welcome the chance to run against a drug addicted loudmouth.

Don't count your panties before they've hatched.
 
Re: Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bus

What is impressive about this poll is just how popular Bill Gates is. Just goes to show you what global good those with the means could do, yet aren't.

Congrats! I was actually going to start a pool on how long it would take a hater to say 'drug addicted' concerning Limbaugh....:lamo post #6....Impressive in your hatred....

Funny, I thought that if someone admitted their problem, got treatment, and gave it up, we were supposed to be forgiving of them....I guess not in Limbaugh's case...

True enough. One in the hand is worth its weight in gold, as I always say.

I think what is impressive is how unabashed your disdain for those with wealth is.
 
Re: Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bus

You saw unabashed disdain for those with wealth in a post that compliments Bill Gates for his global charity efforts? No, I have no disdain for those with money, but I do admire those who give back.

I wonder what separates Bill Gates from the rest of these people? 10 Philanthropists Who Have Given Away Billions to Charity. - TheRichest

Don't know...Why don't you tell us....Many of them appear to support Obama.
 
Re: Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bus

What does that have to do with their philanthropy efforts?

Seems the only disdain here is the one you have for Obama. Is there anything that isn't his fault? What kind of President can't even force billionaires to donate their money?

I forgive him, but he's still an addict. If his treatment was worth anything at all, he'd tell you that himself. It's not about forgiving or not forgiving, it's just a fact.
 
Re: Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bus

What does that have to do with their philanthropy efforts?

Well, you'd have to break down much further where their money goes in terms of defining charity....For instance, Gates may give millions to 3rd world education, while Soros gives millions to his own tax exempt smear machine...Are the two equal, or even comparable?

Seems the only disdain here is the one you have for Obama.

Yes, I do have great contempt, and disdain for Obama politically. He is corrupt, a liar, inept, and dangerous. So?

Is there anything that isn't his fault?

What a silly statement, there is a great many things that are not his fault....That doesn't make what he does do ok.

What kind of President can't even force billionaires to donate their money?

This may have been a Freudian slip here...Do you think that a President should be able to force billionaires to donate their money?

Do you know that he is using drugs still today?

I don't think anyone should force anyone to do anything with their money. I think how billionaires donate their money is comparable. Is it more noble in investing in third world countries rather than your own tax smear scheme? Naturally. That is why Bill Gates is on that list and Soros isn't.

And you're the one that tried to tie donations to Obama. I don't see the connection.
 
Re: Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bus

Then why did you say this?.... "What kind of President can't even force billionaires to donate their money?"

Giving the appearance that you think that they SHOULD be able to force billionaires to donate their money.

I think how billionaires donate their money is comparable.

Depends on how simply you want to define donations.

Is it more noble in investing in third world countries rather than your own tax exempt smear scheme? Naturally.

So then we should see more than just the simplistic he donated this much, and the other guy donated this much, right?

That is why Bill Gates is on that list and Soros isn't.

Did you look at your own list that you posted? Of course Soros is on it, that is why I used him...

And you're the one that tried to tie donations to Obama. I don't see the connection.

No, you misunderstand...I am tying their political leanings to this in your case because you seemed to have linked a dislike to certain donations, while now touting others as equal....I personally don't care if they give away all their money...But don't tell me that their causes, or what they have to say means much simply because they donate...I give too, and I can tell you I am not rich at all.

At this point, what difference does it make?

:mrgreen:
 
Re: Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bus

We have undisputed photographic evidence.

No, no....I am serious....Your horrible photoshop job aside....Do you have proof that Limbaugh is currently still doing pain killers (the substance he went to rehab for over 10 years ago now) Because that would be news...You don't like him, I get it...Hell, I don't like Maddow, Schultz, Hartmann, or Malloy....But I don't smear them do I?
 
Re: Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bus

Do you know that he is using drugs still today?

Don't know, don't care. It doesn't change whether or not he's an addict. Do you think an addict can get elected? Would you vote for an addict if he were a Democrat?
 
Re: Hillary Clinton ranks last on U.S. 'most admired' list, behind Rush Limbaugh, Bus

Oh man....Aren't polls great?! Maybe we should run Limbaugh (tongue in cheek there)....:lamo

Great news. Maybe we won't have to worry about a second presidency.

That was a sarcastic remark. I thought your position was that it was Obama's fault. Guess my sarcasm failed.



Depends on how simply you want to define donations.

True.



So then we should see more than just the simplistic he donated this much, and the other guy donated this much, right?

I think the list in the OP shows that how/where the donations go plays a big part in perception, so yes, I would agree with this.



Did you look at your own list that you posted? Of course Soros is on it, that is why I used him...

I was referring to the list in the OP of most admired people.



No, you misunderstand...I am tying their political leanings to this in your case because you seemed to have linked a dislike to certain donations, while now touting others as equal....I personally don't care if they give away all their money...But don't tell me that their causes, or what they have to say means much simply because they donate...I give too, and I can tell you I am not rich at all.

I do have a dislike for certain donations. Should I consider the millions of dollars that the Koch brothers have donated to political causes as the same as the billions that Bill Gates has donated to third world countries to improve their living conditions? That list of most admired people having Bill Gates at the top shows me that his work and efforts are being recognized world wide. I don't care where a persons political leanings are, I just care about how/if they are helping make the world a better place. You don't have to have any money to make a difference, but if you have billions and the ability to make great changes and you choose not to? Damn right I have a problem with that.
