The most admired person in America is...

The President. Hillary is the most admired woman, but this statistic is quite remarkable.

Among women, Clinton continues an unprecedented 17-year run as the first or second most-admired woman. She first led the list in 1993 as first lady and has held the top spot for the past eight years as a New York senator and, now, the nation's top diplomat. She lost a bid for the Democratic nomination last year.

Good for both of them. We could have closed this rotten decade on a far worse note.
