Obama Named One Of GQ's Least Influential People Of 2013

(TPM) President Barack Obama landed on GQ's "Least Influential People" list for what the magazine describes as his inability to work with Congress.

Obama ranked No. 17 on the magazine's third annual list of "people who've overstayed their turns in the spotlight and used their fame for not a good goddamn thing."

"He can blame Republicans in Congress all he likes and get away with it because congressional Republicans are the worst," GQ explained. "But the fact remains that I have spent the majority of this man's presidency watching bad things happen, then hearing a thoughtful speech about how we gotta make sure the bad things never happen again, and then watching as nothing gets done."

Obama was recently beaten by Russian President Vladimir Putin for the top spot on Forbes' annual "World's Most Powerful People" list.
