Most "Powerful" woman list

I am usually not this focused on women, or politics, or women in politics, but it just seems to be everywhere right now and I can´t help but to comment. Recently, Forbes Magazine published its 100 most powerful women list. Here are my initial reactions.

1. Cristina Fernadez Kirchner is #13 while Bachelet ranks #25? Are people not taking into consideration the economy of these countries? Chile is much more powerful than slowly dying Argentina any day. (Not to mention that Kircher is a much worse president than Bachelet, who is pretty bad herself).

2. Sarah Palin did not make the list (Hilary is #28 though). This explains the shock factor of her VP candidate selection

3. Oprah and Melinda Gates are #36 and #40, respectively. I honestly think that if there was a throw down between Oprah/Melinda Gates vs. Kirchner/Bachelet, Oprah and Melinda would win.
