Michelle is also at the top of the poll for most admired woman.

I am surprised Jimmy Carter is so far down the list; that doesn't seem right. I suppose part of the results depend on timing and how often someone's name is in the news and therefore on the public radar.

Having had the opportunity a number of years ago to sit down and have a 20 minute conversation with Jimmy Carter, I would put him as number one, or number two. President Carter in person is a very warm, intelligent, and incredible person. He blushed when I told him of my admiration for all the wonderful and continuing things he had done and was doing for humanity..........

After finding her, the rest was (relatively) easy. We met at age 22, so 45 years ago.
I knew immediately. She took some convincing!

My wife was born and raised 4000 miles from where I was, on another continent, speaking another language. The logistics were complicated, but worth it! Nice to hear it worked out for you, too!

The whole family even. What an American dream fulfilled.
He’s the guy I would want a beer with!
And I saw him speak and he’s for legalizing pot. So a doobie and beer would be so cool.

PS. Thanks for that thing you guys did for us. Will never forget my good DU friend.

I mean, he should've done something about this banking thing with pot, and I'm not particularly keen about the ACA, but other than that. He seems like a pretty nice guy.

Is it just politics, or are people really that stupid?
