"I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies." — Napoleon Bonaparte

Power has been called many things. The ultimate aphrodisiac. An absolute corrupter. A mistress. A violin. But its true nature remains elusive. After all, a head of state wields a very different sort of power than a religious figure. Can one really compare the influence of a journalist to that of a terrorist? And is power unexercised power at all?

...but, but, but he won the Nobel Peace Prize!

He should be on the powderpuff list, not the powerful list!

After decades on a farm, I can assure you that the top turd on a pile of dung is the freshest ... stinks the most, too.

Oh forgive me. He “won” the Nobel. I heard he also helped the NY Yankees win the series as well.(sarc/)

Let’s give the proper respect to the the most powerful of them all: OBAMA’S TELEPROMPTER.

Even Forbes can't grasp the obvious. Obama has no power, he is just another huckster. So how can he top the "power" list.

Any power that surround him is the power and the wealth of the American people; the American military; and the wealth created by working Americans who pay income taxes.

Note I did not say American citizens. Close to half of them are parasites.

Without their support he is nothing. When his orders are begun to be ignored, we will see how powerful he is. The avalanche will be mind-blowing.

Forbes helped get him there. They have had a column for his pal John Rogers for many years and helped make him very rich even though he is a lousy money manager. Rogers was O’s closet adviser and financial adviser. One reason why I cancelled Forbes and will never resubscribe.

It is just so funny watching these democrats, dope chief included, parade themselves around as defenders of the people as they flaunt their stolen millions in wealth.
These neo-socialists are the worst sort of trash.
But then they strive so hard to emulate the Euro-trash they hold in such high regard..

How can Hussein possibly be the most powerful? He can't even get his signature legislation passed despite having huge majorities in both the House and Senate!
