The Obama Adm. are on list 100th Influential people by Time
The 2011 TIME 100
Meet the most influential people in the world

Michelle Obama, First Lady
Declaring herself "first mom," Michelle Obama got right to work on the defining issues of her children's generation: obesity and improving the health of America's kids. By JAMIE OLIVER


Hillary Clinton, Sec. of the State
When Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State, she pledged a "smart power" policy that meant striking up a close working relationship with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates while reshaping the State Department to emphasize development and people-powered diplomacy. She deployed her personal star power in direct contacts with the public overseas, speaking clearly about human rights and freedom of expression on the Internet. JOSEPH S. NYE JR.

Barack Obama, President
"We remain a young nation," Barack Obama said in 2009, but he added an unsettling admonition that "in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things." No passage in his Inaugural Address more vividly reflected the President's vision of his country and his times or more accurately foreshadowed the vexations that were to beset his leadership.
DAVID M. KENNEDY

Joe Biden, Vice President,
The partnership between any President and Vice President is like a shotgun wedding: Sometimes it works well. Most of the time, it does not. But the relationship between Barack Obama and Joe Biden is as successful a public partnership as I have ever seen. RAHM EMANUEL

Gabrielle Giffords, Congresswoman
The violence in Tucson earlier this year was made all the more shocking by the quintessentially American scene that it shattered: folks of different backgrounds yet part of the same community gathering to share their hopes and ask questions of their elected representative. To put it simply, they came to do the daily work of democracy. By BARACK OBAMA

1. How in the hell did Paul Ryan beat Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck--Sarah Palin aided the TP movement.
She's like the hockey mama of the TP's.

4. Boehner, Ryan Belong on the List
I am not a fan of either John Boehner or Paul Ryan, but they belong on the list. Boehner is the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, which mean he is very influential just because of his position. He sets the agenda for the U.S. House. In addition, I think he had a say in who was able to get seats on the House committees and who became chairs of House committees.

Paul Ryan is the chair of the Budget Committee. So, once again his position make him influential. He puts forward the Republican ideas on the budget. He also become a major part of the Republican debate on the budget.
