2. Barack Obama
The President of the United States, Barack Obama is ranked second on our list with the most powerful people in 2015.
Forbes magazine says of Obama’s place on this list: “One word sums up his second place finish: caution. He has the power but has been too cautious to fully exercise it.”
He has a big problem with a hostile Congress and the brutal terrorists of ISIS who not only seem to defy him; they are challenging all of the so-called ‘gains’ of the Iraq war.
On the economic side, markets were flying to record highs before the Oilpocalypse, and unemployment hit its lowest level since 2008.
