#BBB NEWS| Barack Obama Named The Most Admired Man In America For Ninth Straight Year

However you feel about President Barack Obama’s policies and administration, as a person, it’s pretty hard to deny how charming he is, which may be a part of the reason why for the ninth consecutive year he’s earned the title of Most Admired Man in America.

According to a gallop poll, the open-ended question was posed to Americans from Dec. 7 through Dec. 11 and Obama earned 22 % of the vote, while president-elect Donald Trump earned 15 % however, the seven percent difference is the most narrow of victories for Obama.

Normally when asked, citizens bestow the honor to the sitting president except for those rare moments when the Commander-In-Chief is unpopular.

#BBB NEWS| WATCH: Jimmy Fallon Imagines A Phone Coversation Between Donald Trump And Madea [PHOTO/VIDEO]

Here’s some comedic relief to carry you through the weekend. Earlier this week on Jimmy Fallon’s late night show, the host decided to reprise his impression of Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

In a skit where Trump calls up undecided voters, Fallon imagined what a phone conversation would be like if none other than Madea (played by Tyler Perry), was on the other end of the line.

“What is your biggest concern this election?” he asks. “You, you’re my biggest concern this election,” Madea said to laughter. Moving along with a spot on imitation, “Trump” asks Madea if there’s any sort of agreement with his absurd plan to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S.

“I’m all for that. I think you should build a wall,” Madea said to his liking. “You should have a tall wall in a circle around Trump Towers so that I can lock your a** up.”

To seal the convo, Trump decides to ask the fictional character if he can count on that vote in November. “Ain’t no Black people voting for you Donald, don’t you understand that?” was Madea’s blunt response.

Ahead of Sunday night’s real life debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton, check out Fallon’s skit below..
