George Walker Bush is the most powerful and influenced person in the world.

George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946) is the 43rd and current president of the United States, inaugurated on January 20, 2001 and re-inaugurated on January 20, 2005.

Bush was first elected in 2000 in one of the most controversial presidential elections, after a month of ballot recounts and court challenges in Florida were ended by a Supreme Court ruling.[1] Eight months into Bush's presidency in 2001, nineteen hijackers sponsored by al-Qaeda carried out the September 11, 2001 attacks. President Bush responded by declaring a Global War on Terrorism, which would become a central issue of his presidency. In early October 2001, he ordered the invasion of Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban and attempt to destroy al-Qaeda.[2] In March 2003, Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq, asserting that Iraq was in violation of UN Resolution 1441 regarding weapons of mass destruction.[3][4] Following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's Iraq regime, Bush stated his policy of attempting to establish democracy in the Middle East, starting with Afghanistan and Iraq.[5]

Running as a self-described "war president" in the midst of the Iraq war,[6] Bush won re-election in 2004[7] after a heated general election campaign against Senator John Kerry in which President Bush's prosecution of the Global War on Terrorism and the Iraq war became central issues.[8][9] President Bush's declaration of the Global War on Terror would become the most controversial aspect of his presidency, including issues surrounding the Iraq War, the Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandals, and related domestic controversies such as NSA warrantless surveillance activities and the Plame affair.

Following his re-election, Bush received heated condemnation, even from former allies, on these issues, as well as domestic issues such as his first-ever use of the veto power to veto federal funding of stem cell research, and the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina. According to polls of job approval rating, his popularity reached record heights after September 11, but later drastically declined, due to his perceived poor handling of the Iraq War.[10] It was one of the major reasons for what Bush called the "thumpin'"[11][12] of the Republican Party in November 2006 mid-term elections.[13]

people keep saying bush, but he only has two years left. everyone knows they can outlast his decisions. i'm not sure how long president Hu Jintao in China has left, but he might have more influence. first off, ruling a billion people in his own country. Second, he could economically snap north korea or iran like a twig tomorrow, and the west would cheer it. He could send troops into iraq or afganistan and help stabilize/influence them, gaining support all over. obviously he never would, but if you could be one person and all you wanted was influence on the world, president of china is the way to go for me.

I'm between Oprah and Chuck Norris myself, but that might be a façade...it truly is Paris Hilton. Lol. I'm sorry...i do not know how to answer that for in a way the logical answer would be Bush but i believe the men behind him have more control than he does, he is foolish.

And the answer about catholic church is valid too

personal a information media (the potential of words) -> tear down practise -> personal some corporations (like a huge oil organization, no longer some thing people want more beneficial than some oil!) -> have the U. S. militia do your bidding, and to attempt this you need to purchase lobbyists and donate money "lower than the table" to election campaigns, it is legal now -> run for President of the U. S. on the conventional of Nationalism (the muse of all militia business moves) -> implement fierce regime. no one receives on your way.
