michael fox will never make my list as inspiring people because all he has done is show his bitterness and blame the past President for not direct enough funds for research, in his estimation. Of course wrong. so he wouldn’t even make my list.

GOD

Two friends and their families who have suffered gracefully through to the end with their bouts with cancer…Jim and Glenn. These guys kept active, kept doing good things for others, and continued to witness to God’s greatness.

I think this is a travesty with President Barack Obama not included in the persons to be voted on. This is not a valid pole.

Sarah Palin
Truthful
Patriot
with the gifts a leader a real leader needs.
America she stands for not one world gov.\ new world order.
Loving mother and dedicated wife.

Barack Obama has been the most destructive influence on our country and society. He is the most un-inspiring person of the year.

My dad is the most inspiring person of the year for me. He has been battling lung cancer for the past 2 years and decided to stop all treatments about 7 months ago. He wanted more quality of life and instead of a miserable quantity while taking chemo. He still works part time 3 days a week part time, goes to physical rehab 2 days a week, and has coffee with his brothers several times a week. He has long outlived his doctors prognosis and all of that is why he is the most inspiring person to me.

Glenn Beck is my choice for most inspiring person of the year!

The President-absolutely and my son-taken unexpectedly at 24 years .

Glenn Beck. Wake up America. Time is running out on our
freedoms.

Glenn Beck is the most horrible and idiotic person I’ve ever heard speak in my life. it’s completely astounding.

Nobama would get my vote. But it would be for the exact opposite reason of what you’d think. His extreme liberal agenda is inspiring many many people in this great nation to stand up against him and work towards preserving the core American and Christian values that made America the most powerful nation on earth. This man is such an egomaniac that everything is done to preserve and glorify himself and not the nation. He’s taking the US down a path that many other countries are now trying to undo such many countries in the EU. While they prosper to become more like the traditional America, Nobama is following their unsuccessful footsteps. He has never led anything, has no experience, shows his ignorance daily and is completely self-serving. How people are blind to this is truly sad.

President Obama without a doubt. With his very will and perspective has given new hope and action to the world. He has inspired me and my entire family!

I can’t believe the negativity in some of these posts AND the “politics” that keeps popping up everywhere, even here! Inspiration comes from wanting to be better, to do good, do no harm, to be self-LESS. The people in the running are all that, especially those who have not been in the “public eye”, such as the young man who saved who knows how many lives by tackling the girl with the gun. Who of us would have that kind of courage?

I believe it is Glenn Beck and Kevin Trudeau. Most honest men of our time and very caring towards other human beings.

I Love the Christmas Sweater and I think Glenn Beck is a very inspiring person. I guess it depends on what part of the country you come from. I come from the South and the things about family and freedom and God are things, like Glenn, that I hold dear. I don’t want to be Kool or with it or enlightened with Hollywood values. I vote for him as the most inspiring person of this year and although those liberals who adore Hollywood stars, won’t agree, most of the country is sick and tired of the minority values being forced on us. We are fighting back and if the media would tell the truth, they would see that most of America, agrees with Glenn, not them. There I have had my say so if it doesn’t fit your ideas of what America is all about then too bad. God Bless America!

My vote is for Sully Sullenberger for being someone who put so many lives ahead of his own.

Dr. Norman Borlaug, if you do give the MIPY to those who have passed. After coming from humble beginnings this Iowa native when on to live a life of humanitarianism that I doubt anyone will achieve again. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in the early 1970′s for his Green Revolution that saved millions from starving to death. Then he founded the World Food Prize. As an educator, Professor Ameritus at Texas A&M, has inspired hundreds of thousands of agriculturalists around the world and worked in the trenches well into his eighties. He has set the standard and has laid the initial path to the end of world hunger and poverty. There is not anyone currently living that had the vision of hope and peace that this individual breathed into the world for over 70 years. We lost this native son this year, but he will inspire for centuries to come.

Why isn’t US President Barack Obama on your list? Without his influence worldwide, civilization would still be percolating on the back burner.

For me it’s Sarah Palin. She doesn’t ‘walk on water’ but offered us the key to overcoming our financial crisis by digging for oil and thus stopping our waste of dollars much of which goes to finance cowardly terrorism which in turn continues to lose us the lives of our heroic military and more dollars in combat.

Glenn Beck would be my choice for the most inspiring person of 2009. He is an intelligent man who can see through the corruptness of our government. You can believe what he tells us and is not reported in the main stream media. He is just a really interesting person and the book’s he writes are wonderfully entertaining. We love him.
