I guess all things considered this is no surprise. But it certainly is another one of the many positive stories about him.
Obama is most admired American: poll - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081226/pl_afp/uspoliticsobama - broken link)
WASHINGTON (AFP) – President-elect Barack Obama has replaced US President George W. Bush as the most admired man in America, according to a poll published Friday in the USA Today newspaper.
One-third of the 1,008 respondents surveyed named Obama as their first or second choice, with Bush falling to a distant second after seven years as the country's most-admired man.
Thirty-two percent of respondents chose Obama against five percent for Bush. It was the first time a president-elect topped the poll since Dwight Eisenhower in 1952.

I'm kinda disturbed to think GWB used to be the most admired American....
Oh well, I guess that's better than people voting for Lindsay Lohan.
I can't believe GW was ever a "most admired American", either. That really says a lot about Americans. It's scary. I want to know what the other options in the poll were, apparently there weren't many.

Not surprising at all.
But what does it say when Sarah Palin was 2nd among "Most Admired Woman" - behind only Hillary Clinton?
SNL needs to be on their knees groveling and thanking Sarah Palin for providing them with the only funny material they've had in the past 5 years.
