Barack Obama, Ed Schultz Make GQ’s ‘Least Influential People Alive’ List

Nov. 25, 2011 6:54pm Tiffany Gabbay

While magazines across the country offer readers their pick of the world’s “most influential people,” this year, GQ magazine is bringing you the “The 25 Least Influential People Alive” — and on the list are MSNBC host Ed Schultz, and, of all people, President Barack Obama. This is the same magazine that oddly, named Obama “Leader of the Year” in 2009 and “Man of the Year” in 2008 while calling Sarah Palin “dangerous” and “poisonous.”

But now, GQ has weighed the data and places Obama as the 25th least influential person in the world. Joining the president and Schultz are Daily Beast and Newsweek editor Tina Brown, along with Hosni Mubarak, Hank Williams Jr. and John Boehner, who came in at number 24.

While the issue has not yet been published, TVNewswer brought us a taste of what GQ had to say about Schultz:

…Then there pundits like Ed Schultz. Do you watch “The Ed Show” on MSNBC? Of course you don’t. No one does. The only reason people watch “The Ed Show” is they’re working out in a hotel gym and they can’t find a staff member to change the channel to ESPN.

But where GQ really pulls out all the stops, is in disparaging Tina Brown. Forbes’ Jeff Bercovic i brings us that bombshell:

Brown spent 2011 transforming Newsweek from a magazine no one reads into a magazine no one reads but everyone despises. That’s what happens when you star-f**k the corpse of Princess Diana by Photoshopping her at age 50 for your cover, then do a separate Photoshop of her holding an iPhone, and then create a fake Facebook page for her that includes wall posts from Deepak Chopra. Did you know Tina and Di were friends? They were! This Photoshopped image of them having lunch with Stevie Nicks is proof!

We will have to wait until GQ publishes its Least Influential People list to see what the magazine had to say about Obama.

But even if GQ has fallen disenchanted with Obama, the president still has his top 50 ranking as an “Influential Jew” by Jewish Forward magazine.

  @voiceofreason305 why when Eden was perfect did man sin? Its called free will. Choice. Adam was told (Eve was not there for that briefing) by the Almighty “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Gen 2v16-17) Eve was deceived by the Nachash – Whisperer – serpent that if she ate of this tree she would be like God and God was lieing about her dieing if she ate of it. “And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,” Gen 3v2-6a. The devil is still saying “hath God said?” and we still have free will to chose and there is no free will unless there is the possibility of chosing the wrong outcome. “and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. ” Gen 3.6b Adam knew better – his act of disobedience was treason to God’s law.

They are still trying to blame anyone but him for our economy…not his fault,

for the systematic fall of stable Middle East / N African states who left Israel alone…not his fault,

for the dismantling of Eastern European defenses against the Communist Russia…not his fault,

for the continued high price of oil and absence of any American energy plan, all the while giving access to American technology and resources to foreign countries…not his fault,

and on and on…
No…he has not influenced anything at all….much…..

What I really would like is for GQ to explain why they ranked the President the way that they did in the past two years.
The answer, of course, is that they were following along with this whole “cult of personality” wave that got him elected, gave him his Nobel, and so forth.
Does GQ’s change of heart indicate that perhaps more media sources will also start to recognize that they were complicit in the attack on America that has been President Obama’s first term?

  I doubt there will be any “mea culpa” moments from the complicit media. They sold Obama to the America people like a fairy tale (for those who bought it) and have covered up or ignored everything negative about him, his administration, and supporters. While at the same time completely trashing people like Sarah Palin “This is the same magazine that oddly, named Obama “Leader of the Year“ in 2009 and ”Man of the Year“ in 2008 while calling Sarah Palin ”dangerous“ and ”poisonous.” Seriously, how can the media hold so much control over the American people? It’s like a minority population controlling the majority. It was really hard but we finally cut service to cable and use the internet for news and other services for movies and entertainment. Maybe if more people would do the same it would send a message, and if the media still doesn’t get it, maybe the advertisers would.

  You act as if the press did not vet Obama in 2007/2008? They did vet him and found him to be an extreme leftist with a Marxist whore chasing father and a mother who could not keep her panties on when a Marxist was in the room, any Marxist. He was their perfect candidate. He was the most polished and articulate extreme leftwing nutcase they had ever found and he did not live in a box behind a dumpster, a homeless shelter or in a cave in Arizona.
  
  What the press is upset and disappointed with is that he was spineless when he had a super-majority and failed to take this country far enough to the left. He failed to bring about the magical leftwing utopia they all still very much believe in.
  
  The economy is down in the eyes of the left, not because Marxism is incompatible with prosperity but because Obama failed to swing all the way to extreme Marxism.
  
  They are not disenchanted with Obama because of his Marxist policies, they are disenchanted because he is not 110% Marxist. If Obama had pushed full hard left and perhaps suspended the elections and tried to assume full dictatorial control of the Federal Government he would still be the hero of the media and the stories would reflect that.
  
  He failed and now a small group of about 50 real conservatives in Congress are able to move the RINO’s just enough to the right to hold him back. Fortunately most leftists are serious spineless cowards or 2008-2010 would have been much worse and GQ much happier.

  Ed’s been on the bottom of the pack ever since the first time I heard him on radio 10-12 yrs. ago.
  After that, when I’d tune him in by mistake, I’d change it fast. His hateful rantings will cause him to have a stroke soon enough. We all knew Obama couldn’t influence rational thinking people like us.

I think I can sum it up their blurb about Obama in advance: “He’s not liberal enough! Where is the socialist paradise we elected him to give us?” and of course the, “He lets the Republican in congress get away with whatever they want and block progress.” Thus letting Obama off the hook for the current status of the country while appearing to slam him.

Cheerleading Obama may have sounded like a good idea at the time for these “rags”, but there is no doubt in my mind that the disgust they are touting means they are not getting the “love” they thought they would receive and are now trying to protect their brand buy dissing Obama! What you saw is not what you got—it turned out with socialist ideas instead of free press and lots of love from Obot! Good luck now since no one with a brain reads their ridiculous rag!

  All people who support socialism have the misguided belief that they will be chosen for special treatment, and the people they don’t like will be forced to slave away. They all end up like Lee Harvey Oswald in Russsia- disgruntled in a crap factory job.
  The dreams that reporters had of being top henchmen are going down the loo with the economy. They are mad they didn’t get their butterfly wings, so now they are sour at their chief.
