Ceos

By Heidi Brown and Scott DeCarlo

There's something very desirable about the corner office ... and the paycheck that comes with it.

In January, President Obama signed the historic Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which aims to guarantee equal compensation for men and women. Yet even in the corner office, it seems, women still don't enjoy the same rewards for their managerial performance as men. This year, America 's top-paid female CEOs earned, on average, $3.9 million. Compare this to the men, who raked in an average of $11.9 million.

Women are making waves in business, politics and nonprofits around the world. Their influence is growing.

Forbes' Power Women list isn't about celebrity or popularity; it's about influence. Queen Rania of Jordan (No. 75), for instance, is perhaps the most listened-to woman in the Middle East ; her Twitter feed has 600,000 followers.

In assembling the list, Forbes looked for women who run countries, big companies or influential nonprofits. Their rankings are a combination of two scores: visibility--by press mentions--and the size of the organization or country these women lead.

Well, well.  So the republicans have deemed the current "stimulus" project, this year, "a failure."  I suppose  they think it was a huge success last year.  That would explain why we're in a recession now, wouldn't it?  As far as I can tell most Americans were all too happy to put a little extra money in their pockets after shelling out just about  every nickel and dime for the Republican GOPs and their croonies, all of whom filled their pockets full with our hard earned earnings and retired to the back porch of their million dollar country estates to yak and criticize everything that the new (and young and yes, black) president is trying to do to alleviate some of the personal destruction and devastation all their righteousness wrought since they took over the running of the country back in the 90s. NO body has ever seen this country in such shambles as they have since they so eagerly dipped their (dirty, pudgy, greedy) hands into every 'till to get them even dirtier. Then they ran off without even so much of an apology for ruining the country and now they have the nerve to criticize the new administration?  Because they can't  clean up the mess fast enough? or what?

Jeez!  Aren't they even a little embarrassed?  What do they think when they see what the last 8 years did to the country. In only eight years!  Gosh it feels like 20!  So they can criticize all they want but they can't hide from the fact that it's their fault we need stimulus's anyway.  Although I very much appreciate mine.  So i don't see what they have to criticize it seems a little early to me, of course with all the greedy CEOs that are claiming the bulk of the benefits for themselves I guess you might say it is a failure after all.
