The list of most admired people by Americans is out. Now many of you will be upset (or happy) that George W. Bush is the most admired man. For me it is worse than that: when Bill Clinton was president, he also was most admired man by Americans. And first ladies (past and present) always make the list of most admired women. For me, it raises questions: why a ruling presidnet (whoever he/she may be). Why such lack of imagination? By the way, Mother Teresa was a regular on the list until her death. I want to see new original names on those lists. For the last year: Mr/Ms Potato Head was most admired by Angry Arab. Fee free to make recommendations.
