now we are getting into a subject way too deep for gfy. first of all what type of power do you mean?
second, i think the REALLY powerful people keep a low profile. however here are just a few that are well known that i think are powerful:
allan greenspan (can single handedly topple the worlds economy if he wanted)
bill gates (can shape how 90% of world uses a computer)
steven spielberg- (dont like the guy, but he has the power to make any movie he wants and get it played around the world. he can control emotions and thoughts of billions of people through this method. the ultimate propoganda machine)
gwb is powerful. i never said he had no power at all. but his hands are tied in a million different ways. he has so many people him TELLING him what to do, i doubt he ever has an original thought in his head.
not to mention, the built in checks and balances of the united states constitituion also help keep him from being overly powerful. it was never the intention of the constitition to make one man more powerful than everyone else in the government. that would be a dictatorship.
