"I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

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?
Who really rules the world? The presidents, murderers, businessmen, charity activists? Forbes has compiled a list of most powerful human beings, taking into account how many people they influence, how much money they control and if they are powerful in more fields. Since there are 7 billion people on this planet, being powerful in one area does not count. Forbes designated U.S. President Barack Obama unanimously as the world's most powerful person in the world. He is 'intensely charismatic' 47-year-old Democrat.

How powerful is he? He's the president of America, the most innovating and the country with the most dynamic economy in the world and the economy of his country more or less controls the rest of the world. The democrats have the majority in the Senate. She has nuclear arsenal at his finger tips that contains more than 5000 missles ready to be launched. He's the Commander in Chief of the biggest army in the world. Recenly he was awarded the Nobel award for Peace.
