SAD: Vladimir Putin Beats Obama for Title of MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD

President Obama is used to getting pushed around by everyone as he refuses to stand up for America but no one on the world stage has defied him more than Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The New York Post reports:

Putin named most powerful person in the world for pushing Obama around

For the third consecutive year, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been named the world’s most powerful person by Forbes magazine.

“Putin continues to prove he’s one of the few men in the world powerful enough to do what he wants — and get away with it,” the financial magazine’s editors said Wednesday.

The top five were rounded out by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, President Obama, Pope Francis and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

In 2014, Obama was in second place and Forbes editors said the president’s slip shouldn’t come as a surprise.

“There’s no doubt that the United States remains the world’s greatest economic, cultural, diplomatic, technological and military power,” according to Forbes.

“But as Obama enters the final year of his presidency, it’s clear his influence is shrinking, and it’s a bigger struggle than ever to get things done.”

Forbes tabbed Putin as the world’s most powerful man based on his ability to flout US and world dictates and get away with it — whether it be Russia’s continued involvement in Ukraine or support for despised Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad.

That is so pathetic.
