"How can these things be?" - Most Admired Men in America

Most Admired Men in America

It is interesting to see that Americans admire Barack Obama and Pope Francis in addition to Bill Clinton.
Each year since 1946, Gallup has asked Americans to name the living man or woman they most admire. The top vote-getters for 2014, announced on Monday, were no surprise: Barack Obama claimed victory in the male category for the seventh straight year, while Hillary Clinton extended her even more impressive run as "most admired woman" for the 17th time in the last 18 years, a record for the survey.

That is why no revolution occurs in the US, though the gap between the rich and the poor has widened so desperately and sinfully.

The social integrity in the US is based on Christian culture but not control by or rule of wealth or military power.   Accordingly, American democracy prevails as the ideology for Americans.  So, it is no wonder that some ex-Presidents are admired to some extent.  

However, if Barack Obama, Pope Francis, and Bill Clinton should be disqualified or rejected by some holy authority, how would Americans start to behave?
