Way down the list at number 48 is the current President of the United States, Barack Obama.

Kim Jong-un of North Korea was listed above Obama at number 43.

China stole a US underwater drone while the US watched on Thursday in the South China Sea.  Obama’s lack of a response probably didn’t halt his free-fall on the list of World’s Most Powerful.
