Although its been a few weeks since our last power list, Barack Obama remains in the spotlight with a few power movers surrounding the President-elect, including new secretary of state Hillary Clinton, NBA Superstar Kobe Bryant, Barack Obama mentor Valerie Jarrett, award winning journalist Adoara Udoji and NFL stud running back Adrian Peterson.Each week we compile a list of individuals (some famous and some not) that we think have wielded power in their own fields that week. Since you may disagree, we let you rank our choices. Check out "This Week's List." ...
Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson is arguably the best running back in the NFL. He is REAL POWER. He has it all size, strength and quickness and he's stacked up more than 1,400 rushing yards.
Adoara Udoji is an award-winning black journalists and a strong example to journalists and young people everywhere.
New Secretary of State Hillary Clinton needs no introduction to the Power list. After all, she is a former first lady and a "Clinton." Enough said. She will be a true diplomat in one of our country's highest offices and display grace and dignity for the United States.
Do you know who Valerie Jarrett is? Well, first off, she's a very important person in Barack Obama's life and a great mentor to him. The Chicago lawyer, businesswoman, and civic leader is was appointed a senior advisor in the incoming Obama administration co-chair of the Obama-Biden Transition.
Kobe Bryant is one of the leading scorers in NBA and a basketball icon. Look for him to lead the Lakers on a deep playoff run in 09'
So rank 'em! Tell us who should go on next week's list, too.

I know obama will be good, but I also hope that he makes all his doubters (primarily republicans and racists)look stupid. By not just putting this country back on track, but showing that his position is to help all not just a chosen few. Go obama ! Go clinton !
