Most Admired Woman of 2012
I was intrigued by this..Hillary beats Michelle Obama to top list of America's most admired women of 2012 - and Sarah Palin comes FIFTH
Sarah palin ????
Anyway, Let's have a QL vote. Who would you give the vote to ?
No voting for family members like mothers, sistsers, daughters pleae :O)
The results are based on a USA Today/Gallup poll, which asks Americans to name their most admired man and woman living in any part of the world.
Most admired: Hillary Clinton, pictured, has beaten First Lady Michelle Obama to be named Most Admired Woman in 2012
Hillary Clinton 21%
Michelle Obama 5%
Oprah Winfrey 4%
Condoleezza Rice 3%
Sarah Palin 2%
Malala Yousafzai 2%
Queen Elizabeth II 2%
Margaret Thatcher 2%
Aung San Suu Kyi 1%
Kate Middleton 1%
.
Thank you Molten :)
My wishes for your friend .. May she enjoy a good health !
HH Sheikha Moza is definitely the most admired woman
HRH Sheikha Mozah, I've admired her for years since I read about her progressive leadership in education, community welfare activities and projects in Qatar.
/To choose from that list then, Hillary Clinton who served well these past few years as US Sec of State.
@Eagley Same here ! really admired the progress she did, and especially the Education city! Hats off!
Well you gotta need Margaret Thatcher if you need cold freezing weather!
The woman I most admired in 2012 is a friend of mine who overcame breast cancer.
I find this thread very sexist.. why not "Most admired Man" ?? i could have won easilyyyy :P
Where is Sheikha Moaza on the list?
That's why i said future and not next :O)
excuse me Britexpat, but I still think Camilla has a chance!
The future Queen of England ..
please prepare to send diamond at her inauguration :O)
No. I was waiting for you to nominate the lady ..
Americans? not interested
brite how come did u miss ql highness no merci
Anyone on the list...
So sad to hear that .. guilt .. my friend .
I lost my mom years back(when I was an infant) and I admire her even if I did not see her. I do admire my wife too but in this case my vote is for Aung San Suu Kyi.

for me The most admired woman/lady of 2012 would be
Arfaa Kareem.

She was young and talented girl who lost her battle of life way too early.
manjulika from bhool bhulaiya
For me, the most admired women in 2012 is "usalizzie"

Two things. Perhaps , she is too young to be classed a woman and most importantly, how many in America have actually heard of Malala..
Now back to topic ..
tahsnimim knowing you on QL I can see that you are definitely a changed man since you got married. :)
Was quite perturbed by that too. I honestly assumed she was The Most Admired Woman of 2012, judging by the kind of support and admiration she garnered in her ordeal.
tahsnimim I can see that you are a well trained husband already under the thumb, There is word is Hindi something like a wife's slave? lol
My choice of the lot mentioned in the OP.
sunny leone 200 %
Gotta love Oprah, she gives money as much as Bill Gates (even though it's only for Africa). Also she is trying to change the world for the better.
Hot chick i met at the pub last night !!
HGL - I'm sure of Mother Teresa's SERVICE to humanity but I Can't be too sure of Mother Teresa's SELFLESSNESS. She definately had Conversion in her agenda and her funding from Rome was on that basis.
This 15 year old girl Malala Yousafzai, is infinitely more deserving than Hillary Liar Clinton will ever be!!!!
Not sure about her name but she was carrying a placard with number between every round of Manny Pacquiou's fight with Marquez last month.My vote goes to her.
Sonia Gandhi...wouldnt vote her even to be the last if the list is of the 'admired'.
Cannot name anyone who could otherwise be put under the numbers as all of them have something to gain in return...none as selfless as Mother Teressa and I can only admire her anytime and everytime until someone comes along to be at par with her.
I'd still vote for my mom :P
SURELY THIS IS SOME THING BASED ON IN USA NOT TO THE WORLD, SO SAY IN AMERICA NOT WORLD
My question was "Who would YOU vote for" ?
Not family - so mothers don't count..
Could it be Chancellor Angela Merkel for showing stature above male politicians or Christine Lagarde, the current head of IMF.
Perhaps it should be Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf , the President of Libera or even Sonia Gandhi ?
"The results are based on a USA Today/Gallup poll, which asks Americans to name their most admired man and woman living in any part of the world"....Is an American aware of other parts of the world? An average American doesnt even know the difference between a Hindu and Muslim, cannot differentiate something as big as demolition of 2 towers was carried out by whom, are generally unaware of things that go on in other parts of the world or there are so many other countries that exist...how could these results be of any significance then (other than for them).
(I note Malala in the list, but that may be cos she was in news recently and the ties between the two countries)
My mother is the most admired woman not only of 2012 but of all time.
Sarah Palin?? Maybe becoz she looked very pretty when she lost or maybe she has a kid who might be her daughter's. Ha..
My Vote:Aung San Suu Kyi
I hope she get well soon
The Cuban Shotputter :)
Happy New Year BE :)
