    Good news is I didn't see Bachmann nor Palin on the list.


    Naive thanks for the thread.

    Sure if one like door mats that say "kick me, I can't satisfy my husband but I'll sleep with a monkey for future political power". Face it. she's no more than a prostitute.

    Wow, I'm shocked that the President of the country with the largest economy, largest military, and 3rd largest population is considered the most powerful.

    Whenever a liberal starts discussing who among the pimps and pimpettes of the progressive movement are class acts it's a sure sign for ordianry working people to duck and run for cover, and maybe bury whatever they happen to own that is still of some intrinsic value in this world someplace where even the Good Lord couldn't find it to tax away into nothing.

    Yes, they're class acts all.

    And here I thought the Mummer's Parade wasn't scheduled until New Year's Day.

    I don't think you understand that this isn't a qualitatitive ranking. Your view of power ("might makes right") is ancient and, no offense, is something you see in 3d world or backward countries for dictators. Like how Stalin is still like the 3rd most popular "Soviet/Russian" ever currently in Russia. He's revered and given such recognition because he was so powerful. The Forbes list is not an "outstanding recognition"...or maybe it is for people who view power as such. I'm not comparing Stalin to anyone...just describing people's warped viewpoints of powerful people.

    Obama had an OK-not-so-hot first term in my book and I hope he has a much better second one. But your reaction to people discussing the lack of surprise as to Obama's ranking as being "sour grapes" reveal that you're just happy that he's there as a show of power (which you strangely enjoy).

    No offense taken but perhaps you should read before you post and direct this comment to Ivanbalt it would serve him better.

    "Man"? Mr Mom Jeans Hussein?

    Sour grapes for what? When has the US President not been considered the most powerful person in the world?

    As for China, their economy is half the size of the US economy and they tend to be fairly isolationist. They don't have nearly the influence on the world as the US these days.
