So I was recently informed that the TIME Top 100 Most Influential People in the World list has been published. I was scrolling through it, and there are a lot of unique individuals, some you may know and many you may not. What's even cooler is that both presidential candidates, Barack Obama AND Mitt Romney, are on the list, and both have admirable stories.

Barack Obama

Mitt Romney

What I want to know is what you guys think. Do you feel that both articles do an accurate description of the two candidates? Do you feel they may be embellished in their own ways? Do you feel one candidate has a better story? Share your thoughts here.

I don't really care for mainstream politics. All I really want to know is:
Is Anonymous on the list?

>>3 No. Anon is a group, not an individual. The list is of the top 100 influential people, not interest groups.

>>4 Anonymous did make the list. It was chosen mainly because "YOU" received the TIME Person of the Year a few years back.

the maker of durarara and the dollars also have influenced a lot of us.

I trust Barack Obama, and I think he has done a good job being president. However, I didn't like how he takes credit for the killing of Osama Bin laden when we know a group of Navy SEALS did 75% of the job. I feel that he should have taken his credit as the person that made the right commanding choices, but gave the rest of the credit to the group of SEALS that succeeded because of their hard work and training. To be honest, if I was in his position I wouldn't take any credit and would have given it all to the SEALS.

He's done NOTHING but talk, and did you know he stated the cost of living didn't go up, thus meaning people who get VA that gets a cost of living raise, didn't get theirs? Probably the same for people with different types of disability checks.

When milk is like 5 dollars a Gallon, and Gas being 4 and higher, and 100 dollars can only get you HALF of what you could get the year before, telling us Cost of living didn't go up is trying to tell us we're STUPID.

Personally, I think that both are very admirable for what they have accomplished. I think that while both articles are well written, both also tell about the good things that each candidate did. The only thing it lacks is what they did and failed at. Of course, this is understandable because this is for TIME's Most Influential.

Personally, I do prefer Obama over Romney. However, it wouldn't be the worst to have Romney, at least compared to the other's that are competing for their name to be on the Ballot coming this November.
