From the last decades, and from a european point of view, Barack Obama should be on that List. Voted just cause some black Entertainers told you so, he is one thing that is absolutly crucial to go on top of that List....he´s a Liar, he did accomplish nothing he promised, he was just voted for the Color of his Skin, and he made you Americans number 3 behind China and Europe. but let´s not forget you praised him like he was Jesus or something...so maybe it´s not him to blame but you Americans....hmmmm!!??
