Most Influential Person of 2009?

Barack Obama.

 

He has sparked debate in the US on healthcare and climate change that just wouldn't have been possible before (even Clinton got nowhere on healthcare), and he has improved dialogue between countries across the world, even talking more regularly to China (although he may have put a spanner in that one at Copenhagen).

 

So he has had major influence at home and abroad and on the whole it has been for the good.

If by influencial you mean who has made the biggest impact on highest number of people, then by definition is has to be Obama surely.

 

In Britain, Simon Cowell seems to have almost telekinetic control over the slack-jawed Neanderthals who infest most of the United Kingdom.

Yep that sums it up nicely.
