A USA Today Gallup that was released this week ranks the most admired men America.  It’s no surprise that President-Elect Barack Obama came in first place in the male category.

What’s most shocking is that President George W. Bush still came in second place despite a terrible economy and an unpopular war.

In the female category, our future Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was ranked number one.  She has been ranked number one 13 times during the past 16 years.

The most shocking thing about this category is that Sarah Palin outranked Oprah Winfrey.
