Stupid Americans Still Admire Obama And Clinton The Most, Even Though They Are The Worst
Jeez, America, how dumb can you be? You know President Obama is the worst president who ever presidented because the completely not-biased opposing political party keeps telling us so. And yet, because you are SO dumb, America, you insist on liking the guy anyway because you are so dumb like we said:
Obama has been most admired man in each of the last seven years, beginning with 2008, the year he was elected president. [...]
Obama has appeared on the top 10 list each year since 2006, including ranking No. 1 in each of the last seven years, all by healthy margins over the second-place finisher. The incumbent president is nearly always the winner of the most admired distinction, having placed first in all but 12 of the 68 years the question has been asked.
Americans, in fact, admire President Obama SO the most that some schlub who lives in the Vatican and is a total hippie commie envirofascist comes in a very distant second place, probably because he hasn't learned to accept Capitalist Jesus as his lord and savior yet.
If you think that's bad -- and it is, shut up, don't even try to argue -- you'll want to weep yourself to sleep when you find out who the most admired woman in America is. Sorry, liberals, but it is not your precious Elizabeth Warren. It's the one other lady, Hillary Clinton. AGAIN. Because despite her lesbian headbands, crappy home-baked cookies, and that time she did Benghazi all by herself except for with an assist from Obama and THE DEVIL, because she hates our freedoms, America totes looks up to her anyway.
This utterly meaningless poll, which is utterly meaningless, is especially bad news for all of the future also-rans in the 2016 presidential election. Americans REALLY don't admire those guys. Heck, only Dr. Ben Carson even cracks the top 10 list, and that's probably because most Americans have no idea who he is but figure he must be OK if his first name is "Doctor." (Haha, suckers, just wait'll you find out The Real Truth about him.)
If those lists aren't enough to make you have the sads for our once-great nation, this will really bum you out: Obama's approval numbers are going back up, up, up again to -- that's right -- St. Ronald Reagan levels.
Yup. America hearts Obama about as much as America hearted Ronald Reagan when he was in the same last gasps of his second term. So by our astute political analysis, that means Obama will be forever remembered as winning the Cold War, and Hillary Clinton will definitely be our next president.

Putout?
I find them deeply confusing. If I'm guessing at the methodology correctly, the percentages represent the sum of those who were chosen "most admired" and those who were chosen "second-most admired". Okay so far.
But the sum for the top ten women is 40%, and for the top ten men is 36%. This means the other 60+% were distributed (at 1% or less for each) among a possibly very large number of other unnamed persons.
There must be at least another 60 men and 60 women who got a fraction of a percent. Who were these people? Why don't they get air time along with Laurabush and Pootie?
This is like the anti-Pareto distribution. Talk about your long tail.
