Greatest People Alive Today

The Top Ten
1 14th Dalai Lama

He is a paragon of compassion, can marry science and spirituality and works tirelessly for world peace. He also admits his own failings, what's not to love?

Because he is friend with Brian blessing making him officially the greatest man alive (after Brian blessing)

This in fact is the number 1 person alive today!

Hands down the best person ever! I really just cry whenever I think about him and his god damn cute smile. I really wish he would just marry me and we could live a happy life together on a island far away from these dumb libtards

Hey you there, Mr. "Trump's Evil". He's not evil. He has greatly contributed to helping America be Great Again, and he has not killed anyone. Obama and Clinton (Especially Hillary) are evil, not Trump.

Mentally unstable, full of character flaws, vengeful and angry, lies openly and repeatedly. Oh yeah, also the most powerful individual on the planet. Scared?...you should be.

4 Barack Obama Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. He was the first African-American president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.

Currently the greatest president of the United States of the 21st century! And no, it's not George W. Bush, since that guy started our war in Iraq and stuff, which also led to the rise of ISIS that America has to deal with today! Barack Obama ended America's war in Iraq, has been trying to give affordable healthcare for everyone, was the commander in-chief who had Osama bin Laden killed under his watch, pulled us out of the Bush deficit, started peaceful diplomatic relations for America with Cuba again since the Cuban Missile Crisis, and kept our country safe from nuclear weapons from Iran with a hard bargain (Iran being able to rebuild their army may be a bad thing, but at least it's in exchange for them not nuking and ending the world). I am typing this with all my soul as Barack Obama's second and final term will end this year in 2016. I'll miss you, Barack Obama.

Obama was probably one of the greatest people who ever lived.

5 Edward Snowden Edward Joseph Snowden is an American computer professional, former Central Intelligence Agency employee, and former contractor for the United States government who copied and leaked classified information from the National Security Agency in 2013 without authorization.
