WASHINGTON (AP) -- George W. Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton are finally on the same ticket -- the most admired man and woman in America, according to a poll released Monday.

Ok, I get the fact that President Bush is "most admired".

But Hillary? Not a good role model for my daughter. Or my sons. No self-respecting woman would put up with her hubby's shenanigans.

Yep...I agree whole-heartedly with you Steph. I can't stomach that carpetbagger. :devil:

I have no use for either one of them. I don't trust her anymore than I do him. Too much arrogance in both. Too powerhungry... they really DO have a lot in common... just opposite sides of the aisle. :stone

That defines her to a "T" . . . thanks AmyLiz!!

steph :D

Assuming that this poll had adequate population sampling I am left wondering if our country is of two minds (perhaps schizophrenic) because these two are just about as "polar opposites" it would seem in both principle and ideology than anybody. And yet they share the same poll results.

What am I missing?

And yes, if I ever cheated on my wife (even just once) I would not be here to even beg for forgiveness. I would be a dead man or at least banished to the proverbial great wilderness never to return....

I, like Jnette, have no use for either of these individuals.

George Bush most admired? Excuse me while I lose my lunch! I guess if you you like Cocaine and you have aspirations for the White House, you have found your role model.

Okay. In my lifetime we have had the following Presidents:

Dwight D. Eisenhower

John F. Kennedy

Lyndon B. Johnson

Richard M. Nixon

Gerald R. Ford

Jimmy E. Carter

Ronald R. Reagan

George H. Bush

Bill J. Clinton

George W. Bush

I look at every name on the list above and see individuals who are less than perfect but somehow got elected to the nation's highest office. This doesn't happen in a vacuum. We have a nation of individuals who through their action or inaction have allowed the above individuals to serve as President.

It is obvious with the last election we have a country "split in the middle" over many issues. Perhaps this is why we have two very different persons ranked as "most admired" in a recent poll? It reflects the nation's dichotomy.
