Obama: Most Influential Man of 2008

Posted by Bossip Staff

Askmen.com recently revealed their annual Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2008. Barack Obama topped the list coming in at #1.

Look who else made the list -

1. Barack Obama

17. Kanye West

18. Kobe Bryant

20. Lebron James

49. Lil Wayne

John McCain was number #10 and we find it hilarious that Hell’s Kitchen Chef Gordon Ramsey,#6, and Robert Downey Jr (who’s habitually in rehab), #4, have more influence than him.

Hopefully, Obama’s influence will be reflected in the polls in November as well. Yes We Can!!!!! and Yes We Are!!!!

    “17. Kanye West

    18. Kobe Bryant

    20. Lebron James

    49. Lil Wayne”

    That’s not something to be proud of. That’s disturbing. Then I looked back and saw that it was ‘Askmen.com’ and shrugged my shoulders. Their polls and lists are always worthless; if a bunch of white folks want to claim a bunch of black entertainers are more influential than the Tavis Smileys of the world, then whatever.

    By way of failure to timely respond to requests for admissions? Yeah, whatever. Do you read the ***** you post, half the time?

    Philip J. Berg is a ‘PUMA’ — Party Unity My *****/Pro-Hillary Clinton Democrat. Which means that he’s a snake and not real.

    Newsweeks’ Factcheck.org was able to demolish everything Berg and his site, OBAMA CRIMES . COM, have attempted to say about Obama.

    And what, apparently is Obama’s crime that Berg is obsessing on? What is Berg asking for money for through paypal — or a check in the mail if the paypal link doesn’t work for you? He’s asking for money to ‘prove’ that Obama is:

    a) a Muslim

    b) born in Kenya

    Eddie, why do you really hate Obama so much? where are your solutions, instead of your conspiracy theories, all these weeks?


  31. :roll: @ Eddiedollars

    BARACK THE VOTE EVERYONE…HE NEEDS EVERY VOTE IN ORDER TO WIN

    all my votes are for Obama his speech is defenaetly great. And i beleive it can change our life. But are you guys voting cause he can make a difference or because hes black

  38. liyah

    aint *****ody worried bout no mccain!!!! obama aint got nun to worry bout. he got dis. DO WAT IT DO!!!!!!

  39. jonjon23

    I am voting for Obama, but not because he is black. I didn’t make up my mind between he Hillary or Romney, but when he got the nomination, I studied and researched him. It was then and only then that I knew he was the right man for the job. He’s intelligent, poised, and dynamic. If he was white he would be 20 points ahead of McCain–real talk. If somehow Bill Clinton could run again, and he was going against Obama, Bill would definitely get serious consideration because he is a proven leader and life was a lot better when he was president. Now the clear choice is Obama.


  40. Hey Fam, got something for you. Keith Olbermann on his show mentioned “Hal from Bergen”. I seen how good you did with that “Joe the fake Plumber” story. Hal Turner is his name . He’s a neo-***** that slept at Sean Klannity’s house.Make Olbermann stuff viral and help Sen.Obama out.There’s lots of information out on him AND IT’S TRUE.The ***** even has his own website. THIS CAN GET SEAN HANNITY FIRED.This was the second time he was mentioned on T.V.Yea a neo-***** bomb maker terrorist Slept at his house. More info at newshounds.us.

  41. and another one..

    TO The Obama HATER that is EddieDollars215 (dollars my ***** u broke *****) I work for a law firm and request for admissions is a simple stage of discovery when you file a law suite. If the other side does not answer the discovery i.e special interogg, request for production of do*****ents etc then you impose sanctions – this whole process is RARELY done, especially if the attorneys are any good and have communication, which I am no genius but do believe, that Obama with his stacks can afford an extremely good attorney! My advice to your burger tossing, mayo rubbing, ***** ***** – go to your church and PRAY because if your older head crush (MCLAME) gets in you going to need God for direction and forgiveness. You are a uneducated embarr*****ment to your race. Hey as the VP Sarah ‘Im a redneck’ always say the ‘REAL AMERICA’ is waiting for you, with sheets on their head – SUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  42. bob

    lol if you want something more about the annual Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2008 go look at a dating site ** T a l l c h a t.c o m ___ which is a hot dating site for all tall friends and tall singles.

  43. Jahpson

    at the end of the day, that doesnt mean anything bossip.

    all this hype is going to get voters to think he doesnt need their vote, and thats not true.

    He may be man of the year, but I think he is more interested in being president.

    vote folks!

  44. Lin

    Dynamic Senator Obama is. For all those people trying to doubt Obama is because they are biggots. Can you really look and listen to sarah and mccain and say they are positive role models for America. mccain and his stupidity, sarah and her prejudice ways in Alaska, sarah not knowing even half of what she should in order to RUN America, God forbid, mccain and sarahs hate forums against Obama, etc.,etc.,etc. It’s really ridiculous. Black people STOP doubting your own color of race. Black people, isn’t Obama a PRIME example that you really can be anything you want to be in America?

  45. Lin

    @Jahpson ABSOLUTY TRUE, because they say, yes, Obama is leading and then this morning, now they are tied in over 20 states. You MUST NOT trust the MEDIA. PEOPLE DO NOT trust the media coverage on the polls.

  46. warning:very opinionated

    What in the flames of hell??? Lilwayne actually made that list? Kanye west pompus *****?? In the words of wendy..Oh My Goodness….if these are the men are that are influencing are men in this country its a no wonder most AMERICAN men are stupid.

  47. candy

    kanye west is influential???? Wayne influences ppl to drink cough syrup in a plastic cup. THATS IT!!

  48. chaka1

    If I could find a SINGLE man with half of Obama’s character, I would marry him TODAY!


  49. I am v:)ting f:)r Barack :) bama!

  50. blackgirl

    yeah this poll isnt about anything here. After I saw lil wayne and lebron and kanye….puhhhhhh-lease!!
