why is Barack and Michelle Obama, AND Joe Biden on the 100 most influential people?

Joe Biden is not even the most influential person in Obama's inner circle.

Michelle tries to influence everyone even though no one elected her or cares two twits what she wants everone else to eat.

Obama may be influential yet his power and influence are waining even amongst liberals.

I find it amazing that the Prez and Vice Prez of the US, not to mention the First Lady, could be seen as _NOT_ influential. They may not be your favorite people, but simply by who they are, they are going to influence a lot of people.

Who made up this list? Pathetic, as BO has a very low popularity rating. Michelle and Joe? C'mon-they have no influence.

that is another example of media attempting to convince you that these people are worthy of being read or looked at and listened to, despite your better judgment.

It is a sales pitch.

They are hardly influential in reality but that doesnt keep their public relations people from attempting to make them influential.

SO - do you think the sales pitch is working Are you influenced yet?

Not a thing that I am aware of. Don't allow it to bother you in other words don't allow people to rent space in your head!
