The Gallop Poll found former President Barack Obama the most admired man in America in 2017. It was the 10th straight year of such honor to the former President. It is really not surprising to those who follow politics and the real news. The former President has accomplished much for the country and its people while in the White House, the U.S. Senate and as a civilian last year.
The same poll found Hillary Clinton as the most admired woman in America in 2017. It was the 16th time of such honor for her and like Obama justly earned that came from their peers. Both were true public servants who put the country, its institutions and its people first. The poll is a rebuke to the negative political atmosphere created in 2017 by President Trump and his year end anemic approval rating of only 32%.
Trump, the ego driven President is in all probability boiling over the poll that bestowed the honor on Obama and Clinton and no doubt will continue to pass the buck of blame to them every time something negative happens on the trumpet man's watch. But Obama and Clinton know how to defend themselves and as civilians will continue to do and provide those ideas that really matter and make a difference for the country and its people. And that really says it all.
