Do You Agree With This List?

Here's my list of the 5 Americans of the last 20 years with the most natural political ability. Please note that some of these people are good, and some are bad. I'm not judging their philosophy, but rather their natural political acumen.

5. Donald Trump - Like him, or not, "The Don" has proven to be a very resilient self promoter who has survived decades of ups and downs to come out stronger than ever.

4. Lady Di - Instead of settling for being just another pretty face, Lady Di transcended the British crown to become more popular and influential than those born into the royal family -- even after her divorce from Prince Charles. More importantly, she actually took on substantive issues. Her tragic early death will do nothing but enhance her image. As they say, she now "belongs to the ages."

3. George W. Bush- Like Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush's big advantage was the fact that his opponents underestimated him. Much to the chagrin of his enemies, Bush connects with average Americans. You don't get elected President twice without being savvy.

2. Bill Clinton - Though his legacy is permanently tarnished by scandal, Bill Clinton is an incredibly gifted and charismatic pol. Even his critics admit that when they talk to him, "He makes you feel like you're the only person in the room." There's no telling what he could have accomplished if he had a moral compass.

1. Oprah Winfrey - From a small town in Mississippi to your living room, Oprah Winfrey has defied the odds. There is no doubt that she is one of the most influential and charismatic people of our era. Oprah is America's Sweetheart, and could give any politician a run for their money.
