U.S. first lady Michelle Obama beat out heads of state, chief executives and celebrities to rank as the world's most powerful woman in Forbes magazine's annual listing Wednesday.

Kraft Foods Chief Executive Irene Rosenfeld, who led a hostile $18 billion takeover of Britain's Cadbury, came in second, followed by talk show host and media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who is ending "The Oprah Winfrey Show" next year after 25 years to launch her cable network OWN.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, elected for a second term last year, was the fourth most powerful woman, while U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was put in charge of brokering Middle East peace, rounded out the top five.

Sarah Palin with no office, but only a message, has much more power that Mrs. Obama.

world's most powerful woman

This is a joke, right? Exactly what power does she yield?

Chewbacca beats out Chancellor Angela Merkel?
This farce greatly resembles the Nobel her husband received. There is no sanity anywhere anymore.

This is idiotic. It fails to distinguish between influence and power. It might be argued that Oprah has more influence, or less, than Mrs. BO, but Angela Merkel actually exercises power, real power, as opposed to influence. She is a head of state. Mrs. Clinton exercises power. Boob belts and monetary policy and foreign policy are not equal.

Thanks for the pic — at least now there is some perspective to the title. Although, I must admit his head is not what I imagined she kept her big clod hopper on.

I was appalled, ashamed, and embarrassed at the way she dressed for such a solemn and dignified ceremony last year. It WAS NOT a garden party!!

This year was one of those rare occasions when she was actually dressed more like a 1st Lady.

As much as I hate to say it, she is not as powerful as Nancy Pelosi.

That might be true if Obama were the most powerful man in the world, but he's not and it's by his own design. He does not want the American President to be the most powerful man in the world anymore. The most powerful man in the world doesn't bow to tyrants and despots and oil barons.

Europe, Asia and Russia laugh at our President as does Iran.

My advice to the First Wookie, “Don’t worry about that ranking, smell isn’t everything.”
