Is the president of the United States really the most powerful person on the planet?

Question

If not then who is?

Answer 1

I would hazard a guess at someone like Rupert Murdoch being more powerful than bush.If anyone annoys Murdoch they get destroyed politically no matter which company they run or country they head they all pander to his will. He holds any politicians future in his hands.

Answer 2

he's the top of each and every of the militia. And his signature on a proposed regulation, makes it a real regulation. yet, there are "tests and balances." the place if the president refuses to sign a regulation, the legislature can over-journey his veto and make it a regulation besides. Plus if he indications the regulation, the sumptuous courtroom can declare the regulation null and void. As to the militia, if the president comes to a decision to invade yet another usa, the congress will administration how the conflict is paid for (and the Congress provides up the conflict, after a on the same time as). The president gets a definite form of days until now he fairly desires the permission of congress to salary conflict. yet because of the fact the Presidency (the administrative branch) is targeted on one individual, on the same time as there is 9 splendid courtroom justices and 1000's of individuals of congress, the president is seen the main useful individual.

Answer 3

They are a collective called ..Project for the New American Century.
The members of the Project For a New American Century had their agenda prepared and published before they propped up an uniformed, inexperienced, failed businessman named George W. Bush as their poster candidate. He had great appeal among the good ole boys and the bible thumpers who were not very likely to vote for the scowling man behind the curtain, Dick Cheney. George W. Bush had not been sitting around for the previous 10 years thinking about foreign policy. Rather, he was being coached on foreign policy by handlers who had to teach him that Africa was a continent and not a country.

The stated aims of PNAC can be followed from their war plans to their hopes of global military superiority. George W. Bush was not a factor when PNAC was writing its openly published policies. But once the 2000 election was secured, PNAC members became and remain the mainstay of the Bush administration, holding virtually every major position relating to foreign policy.

However, to this day, PNAC has not been mentioned by any of our corporate news media. Most Americans have never heard of it, and few can name its members in positions of power in their own government. As a matter of fact the chairman of PNAC, William Kristol (Editor of the PNAC publication, the Weekly Standard), is a regular pundit offering analyses of Bush policies on FOX News. Never has Kristol been identified as having any connection to PNAC despite being one of the authors of our current foreign policy. He is regularly presented to the public as an impartial journalist. In fact, not a single government spokesperson has ever been identified as a PNAC member. Talk about media deception!

When there is any discussion of Bush policy, from the Iraq War to the Patriot Act, we are told that 9/11 changed everything. This is nonsense. The most controversial acts of the Bush/PNAC administration were planned and held in abeyance prior to 9/11. The people who prepared the PNAC agenda did not think they had a chance in hell of their goals coming to fruition. Can you imagine the Patriot Act passing without 9/11 having taken place?

Reality check: The 800 + pages of the Patriot Act were written prior to 9/11. So were the plans to invade both Afghanistan and Iraq. But PNAC needed 9/11 to take place. They wanted 9/11 to take place. They wrote about 9/11 (their new Pearl Harbor) taking place. What makes you think they had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 taking place?

As a matter of fact, the book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, by Zbigniew Brzezinski, published in 1998, basically blueprints everything that is going on today as it relates to the military primacy of the US and it's domination of the world. This is not new stuff. The Bush/PNAC administration is not responding to 9/11. They are in fact carrying out a pre-planned agenda made possible by 9/11.

Answer 4

George Walker Bush is nothing more than a puppet.

The most powerful person on the planet would be the new Nazi pope.

I think it is very frightening how powerful 1 man is. I think he is a war monger who is only interested in himself being the ultimate leader of world power. The war in Iraq is terrible, we should get our troups out as soon as possible.I find it appauling that since this so called War on Terror finished , the UK is still losing military personel.
