7 Barack Obama
He is the 44the President of the United States, re-elected this year. Running the office puts ahead many challenges, for which the resolutions never come easy or can be straight cut. “Any given decision you make you'll wind up with a 30 to 40 percent chance that it isn't going to work," informed the president. Tens and thousands of U.S. troops have been pulled out of Afghanistan this year. He has wisely deployed a low-key approach towards Egypt, with its struggle to protect the newly won democratic freedom in the middle of an Islamist revival.

8 Paul Ryan
Paul Ryan, congressman from Wisconsin has bold ideas in his budget proposal as lowering income tax rates, simplifying tax codes. Revamp Medicare by providing beneficiaries funds to buy competing public and private healthcare plans. And by saving $5 trillion in the process of reducing non-entitlement spending to its lowest. Ryan’s dramatic ideas may have to be put on hold as his ticket has lost the election. However they might prove insightful when considered.
