Worth Anything?

Forbes Magazine named Michelle Obama the “most powerful woman in the world.” Huh?  She's the president's wife.  Shouldn't the title go to a woman who is powerful on her own? 

Can you picture Forbes giving a title of Most Powerful Man of the World to a U.S. First Dude who has no power on his own - just shares his wife's power?  I don't think so.

What a slap in the face to women who have power because of their own efforts!  What a slap in the face to all women.

This is on a par with giving Barrack a Nobel Prize.  For what? Being elected the President of the United States? Someone does that every four years, for crying out loud! 

Nothing means anything anymore because people play politics with awards that should be important. 

It is like passing everyone through high school, whether or not they accomplished anything or whether or not they can read -- and sometimes whether or not they bothered to attend.  That is why the value of a high school diploma has deteriorated. 

It means nothing, same as titles that are given out without merit.

OofDah!

  1. I think she's fine - but like you, I don't get that title either - it really annoys me in fact.
