“Likeable Enough” Hillary Clinton Now More Well-Liked Than Obama
EmailABC News’ Joshua Miller reports:
On a debate stage in New Hampshire, an iconic moment of the 2008 presidential campaign played out. Then-Senator Hillary Clinton was asked about her deficit of “likability” and joked that the question hurt her feelings but she would “try to go on.” The audience laughed and Clinton, looking over at fellow candidate for the Democratic nomination Barack Obama, admitted “he’s very likable – I agree with that.”
“I don’t think I’m that bad,” Clinton said, smiling.
Obama barely looked up from his notes. “You’re likable enough, Hillary,” he said.
Ah, karma. A brand new Gallup poll shows Secretary of State’s Hillary Clinton’s favorability eclipsing President Obama’s by a substantial margin. Sixty-six percent of those polled said they had a favorable opinion of Clinton versus only 54% who said they have a favorable opinion of the President.
Clinton scored her record favorability rating of 67% not long after the House of Representatives impeached her husband, President Bill Clinton.

Of course she is. Hillary is actually working, while Obama goes on vacay, does his NCAA picks, jumps on AF1 to campaign, and gives money away to other countries.

Everyone sees Hillary Clinton is showing leadership while President Obama is on vacation and golfing! VP Biden keeps disappearing instead of working on the budget!

It seems to me that Hillary is doing all the work while Obama plays golf, vacations, campaigns across the country, plays basketball, hosts weekly parties in the White House, sits with his feet on the Resolute desk in the Oval Office, plays with his football in the Oval Office (look at offical white house photo gallery – it’s the truth!) and while he does everything a child would do to avoid doing their homework. The phone rang at 3AM and Obama didn’t answer. Now Hillary is doing the housekeeping and sweeping up the mess Obama and Biden created.

That’s really NOT saying much.

I don’t think Obama is that likable even back in 2008. It’s just the media fell in love with him and made him appeared to be likable.

He is constantly under media scrutiny. She is not so duh..she would be more popular. If the tables was turned and Obama was SOS and Hillary was President her numbers would be in the tank. If the best person in the world was President there numbers would be in the tank. We love to sit in judgement of others.
