Tony—

Uh I think if you asked most Americans, more than 2% would say they admire Bill Clinton. The key is —the poll asked who do you admire the MOST???

The same USA TODAY article also states:

“Obama's rise is matched by Bush's decline. The president's support has ebbed nearly every year since 2001, falling to 5% this year.”

Now, this percentage “and a quarter, will buy you one chocolate munchkin from Dunkin’ Donuts,” which I will tremendously enjoy eating and taking my time doing so–for at least the next four years .

"The amazing stat is that only 32% of Americans admire Obama."

Where did you get that figure? The poll you talked about in the previous paragraph obviously does NOT say that. Did you just make it up?

Does TMV policy allow lying?
