The Gallup poll recently listed the the most admired people in 2006.

Here are the results.

The top ten most admired men include:

1. George W. Bush - 13%
2. Bill Clinton - 5%
3. Jimmy Carter - 4%
4. Barack Obama - 3%
5. Billy Graham - 3%
6. Colin Powell - 2%
7. Pope Benedict XVI - 2%
8. Nelson Mandela - 1%
9. George H.W. Bush - 1%
10. Bill Gates - 1%

The most admired women include:

1. Hillary Clinton - 13%
2. Oprah Winfrey - 9%
3. Condoleeza Rice - 8%
4. Laura Bush - 4%
5. Margaret Thatcher - 2%
6. Angelina Jolie - 2%
7. Nancy Pelosi - 1%
8. Madeline Albright - 1%
9. Barbara Bush - 1%
10. Maya Angelou - 1%

So my question to you is: WHO DO YOU ADMIRE MOST?

My vote (beyond Jesus - that’s a given) would go to my wife, Miriam Delony, who is the strongest person I know. She’s a person whose opinon I hold over all others and whose steadfastness I glean from on a daily basis. So move over Hilary and Dubah, you’ve done nothing for me in 2006!
