You beat me to it. The Obama admin has the look and feel of an old mob TV show. Obama is just the slick Lawyer mouthpiece who doesn't get his own hands dirty, doesn't issue the orders. Why else cant the man not give a speech without notes or teleprompters?

I’d put her second, behind Putin. Angela Merkel in third.

Robert Mugabe will soon rank ahead of him the way things are headed.

Positioning can make amusing combinations:
66 - John Boehner, Speaker of the US House of representatives
67 - Joaquin Loara, Head of the top Mexican Drug Cartel...
