U.S. first lady Michelle Obama beat out heads of state, chief executives and celebrities to rank as the world's most powerful woman in Forbes magazine's annual listing Wednesday.

Kraft Foods Chief Executive Irene Rosenfeld, who led a hostile $18 billion takeover of Britain's Cadbury, came in second, followed by talk show host and media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who is ending "The Oprah Winfrey Show" next year after 25 years to launch her cable network OWN.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, elected for a second term last year, was the fourth most powerful woman, while U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was put in charge of brokering Middle East peace, rounded out the top five.

She’s got no power over me. Neither does her idiot husband.

This year Forbes changed the way it ranked women, basing the list on wealth and power and more on creative influence and entrepreneurship says Moira Forbes (Steve Forbes’ daughter), President & publisher of ForbesWomen.

Forbes said Obama topped the list this year because “she has made the office of first lady her own” while remaining popular.

“In a telling sign of her charisma, the White House is putting her on the campaign trail to headline fundraising events in battleground states like California and Colorado,” Forbes said.

“She’s also effective: In response to her Let’s Move! campaign against childhood obesity, companies like Coca-Cola, Kellogg and General Mills have pledged to reduce the calorie content of their foods by 2015,” it said.

In this pic, the most powerful woman has on ill fitting pants, (too tight, too short) a top that doesn't quite match, and BLUE SHOES? Then the hair pulled back in a stingy "old mountain woman" knot.--she has worn it like this a lot lately.

Also, look at the Pres's pants and coat fit. NOT top notch--looks like off the rack and I would bet it cost several hundred if not a couple thousand.

As for the girls, they always look pretty ordinary, pretty regular. I have never seen them spectacularly dressed.

It seems none of the mags can get over their gushing over this family. Her "most powerful" is bs, and just more fawning.

For all the media worship for this family, especially Mooschelle, they manage to get her in some awful shots. They have taken Palin at every angle, and I have yet to see a shot where the camera didn't love her. Wanta bet this upsets some photogs?

When you vote someone into the presidency without the experience of a hot-dog stand manager, you get turd-in-the-punchbowl results.

She looks like she should be holding the reins of a mule plowing a field.

How about the most powerful Skank bitch that dresses from the worst of Goodwill and is proud of it. When she actually does something about her own fat ass is when she might become relevant about weight lose for kids...

Nobody's fooling us Al-Bama. Everybody knows YOU are the world's most powerful woman!

Well if you look at the others they’ve highlighted for the most part...this isn’t an honor at all...just links her with some of the worst.

Two years from now no one will give a damn what Michelle Obama says. But Oprah will likely still command audiences of millions.
