Pope Francis was named the world's greatest leader by Fortune magazine, topping a diverse list released Thursday.
Fortune’s first list of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders includes a Hollywood actress, a baseball superstar, a teenage education advocate and the president of a small California college. It also includes a former American president, but the current one failed to make the cut.
Former President Bill Clinton ranks No. 5 on the list, selected for being a “relentless and forceful advocate” in numerous causes, but noticeably absent is one of his successors and the current leader of the free world.
"President Obama wasn't excluded from Fortune's World's 50 Greatest Leaders list,” Fortune said in a statement. “He simply didn't make this year's list of 50 outstanding individuals who have demonstrated rare leadership, leadership in multiple areas or who have demonstrated a long history of leading.”
The White House did not respond to an NBC request for comment.
Pope Francis ranked first among the world leaders for an attitude that has drawn more attention and admiration in just one year than any of his predecessors have over several decades.
Francis, who just celebrated his first anniversary as pontiff, has helped clean up the money-scandal that plagued the Vatican bank and has begun to address the church's child sexual abuse scandal. He also has "set a striking new tone through his personal example of modesty and inclusiveness — this is what a great leader does,” the magazine said about the Pontiff, who just months earlier was named Time's "Person of the Year."
Fortune said it was difficult to winnow down its list to just 50 “men and women, young and old, who are leading the way people want to be led. Crave to be led.” The list also includes: Angelina Jolie (No. 21) and Bono (No. 8) for their humanitarian efforts; New York Yankee Derek Jeter (No. 11), captain of arguably America’s most iconic sports franchise; and Maria Klawe (No. 17), the Harvey Mudd College president leading the charge to bring more women into science and technology careers.
I'm not sure I'd call Obamao a "leader", nor am I too certain the the U.S. is any longer part of the "free world".
No kidding. The boy empress is naked.

LOL.... Now, that’s funny.
He was not ‘snubbed’. He was considered and rejected.
Nice!
Nice!
relentless and forceful......Just ask Juanita Broderick.
“relentless and forceful......Just ask Juanita Broderick.”
Libs find her too easy to dismiss (due to the lack of legal documentation); I love throwing Paula Jones in their faces because she was the reason Monica was publicized (subpoenaed in the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit), and he settled for nearly $900K, lost his law license for five years, and lost his reputation. Enough truth was exposed so that he can’t look people in the eyes, and his defenders can’t look us in the eyes...
LOL! Clever....
They will print obama $3 bills.
But where is the real leader? Valeria Jerrett?
Looks as if obama really came in #35 in the poll. 30 others tied for 6th place
lack of legal documentation-—not really, everytime someone asks him where he was that morning he directs them to his lawyer. Legal enough for me.
“everytime someone asks him where he was that morning he directs them to his lawyer. Legal enough for me.”
Maybe for you; it might not keep his name off a school building or something along those lines (while the Paula Jones case should). Anything named after him should be covered with graffiti showing him getting a Lewinsky...
