"Obama bests Trump in Gallup’s ‘most admired’ poll"

In a poll asking Americans to name the man they most admire in the world, 22 percent of respondents picked the outgoing president. In second place was his successor, Donald Trump, favored by 15 percent.

According to Gallup, sitting presidents generally come in first in the poll, although Obama bested George W. Bush in 2008, before Obama took office and when Bush had a low job approval rating. (Obama has won every year since.) Democrats were more likely to pick Obama this year than Republicans were to pick Trump.

I guess you mean can't.

True, and my calling it proof of anything was definitely an exaggeration.

But sadly, 50% of Hillary voters believe the Fake News that Russia hacked the election and 87% believe only Elite Russian hacking teams could bypass Democratic Security consisting of passwords like "Obama08" and "Pa$$w0rd".

Keep asking everyone in Orange county CA, Broward Dade FL and Boston Mass their political opinion. That worked wonderfully last time.

Who cares. Obama is leaving and Trump is coming in. Obama is already in the shadows.

Are these the same pollsters that said that Hillary would win?

i see some people continue to fall victim to these so-called internet polls LOL.

I wonder how many (if any) people picked up "my mother." I would have.

15   fdhfoiehfeoi   2017 Jan 4, 11:05am  

And we know this is accurate because look at how right the pre-election polls where...

Wait, I have more:

Admired because healthcare is an even bigger catastrophe than when he started
Admired because he's trying to start WWIII on his way out
Admired because he promised marijuana prosecutions would stop, then raided a 100 dispensaries in CA
Admired because he's letting a bazillion illegals into the country a day, some of which are probably terrorists
Admired because he inspired such confidence in the countries future that gun and ammo sales set all time records during his term
Admired because at the end of his presidency the democrats have lost all control of the house and senate
Admired because inflation is at record levels

he's trying to start WWIII

How exactly is that pathetic pussy of a President is "trying to start WWIII"?

Special forces on the Russian border, and apparently some sanctions, or at least talks of sanctions against Russia for what seems to be unsubstantiated claims that someone other than the CIA interfered in a countries election.

Obama edges Trump by 1% in poll over Hypothetical Race

All this is grounds to fear WWIII in your world? Congratulations: you're even bigger pussy than Obama. It's a hard achievement, be proud.

Remember: NATO member Turkey fucking shot down a fucking Russian plane not so long ago and nothing happened. Zilch. Nada. Bupkes. Putin swallowed Erdogan's cum and called him a friend.

22   MisdemeanorRebel   2017 Jan 4, 5:41pm  

Fortunately Putin is both smart enough AND popular enough to ignore the provocation.

The President doing these things mere days before leaving office as an apparent Humbug is extremely irresponsible. If somebody had done this during the Cold War, they'd be pilloried in the Press. The most hardline Cold Warriors would call it unhinged and reckless behavior.

It's scary to think how unserious people are about 1000s of SLBMs, ICBMs, etc. 1000s. Not one dirty bomb that would kill fewer people than a 'regular' frag bomb. Not one Hiroshima-sized bomb. But 100s, probably 1000s of MIRV warheads measured in the many megatons.

In fact, when you think about, we invaded a country over a really bad case of suspected anthrax and yellowcake enrichment (with a falsified, exaggerated narrative of evidence based on rubbish, which are we seeing yet again), but are poking at a country with 1000s and 1000s of nuclear warheads with an almost cavalier "I'll use this for political ammo" attitude.

Totally irresponsible. Future historians will look at this with dropped jaw.

There is no threat of WWIII then from little thing like moving trivial amount of lightly-armed troops or imposing non-crippling sanctions or shooting down Russian military aircraft when they violate NATO airspace then. QED.

shooting down Russian military aircraft when they violate NATO airspace then

The plane was shot down in Syria. The missile had to have been fired before the plane was in Turkish airspace. No evidence has been provided by Erdogan, and if you noticed, the Obama admin was very hesitant about pushing that line, because Erdogan is a real Dictator, far worse than Putin, and the evidence is strongly against Erdogan's BS story.

It's okay, he Russians got their revenge by killing one of the Turkmen Wolf leaders (or whatever it was called) operating just inside the Syrian Border from Turkey, whose father is a Mayor of a Turkish City and major Erdogan ally. No more bullshit from Erdogan after that.

You think that's all the US has done, seriously? Intervention in Ukraine through funding of radical nazis. Founding and continued funding of Isis and Syrian rebels. Putin's favorite driver recently killed in a car "accident". We are the most imperialistic, interventionist country in the world. Maybe you should lookup the definition of blow-back...
