Year's End Pros and Cons

     These are not my choices......they come from two of the places where the most and least favorite institutions and people are ranked for the year.

     As high of a ranking as President Obama got, you would have thought he could have helped Congress stay in Democratic control...Gallup reports he's the Most Admired Man in America again, for the 7th year in a row. Right behind him? The Pope. And The Most Admired Woman? Hillary Clinton.

     And when it comes to businesses, wouldn't you think that banks might have taken a hit when the Great Recession slammed almost everyone into the wall? Nah, their rankings fell only a bit. Here are the rankings between 1995 and 2014  according to The American Customer Satisfaction Index.
