If you cannot answer yes to any of those question, than you aren't Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, or Lady Gaga, three of the ladies that Forbes has listed as three of the worlds most powerful women.
Forbes, a company that counts other people's money for a living, just released its annual list of "World's 100 Most Powerful Women."
While the list also includes other important women who run companies and countries and have many piles of money, I'm only going to focus on the hollywood-types who made the list, because let's face it, Indra Nooyi the Cheif Executive of PepsiCo, I don't know who you are.

Lady Gaga and Beyonce also made the top 10 list which included world leaders and CEOs, but the number one spot was dedicated to our first lady, Michelle Obama.
Moira Forbes, vice-president and publisher of ForbesWoman, says that the people that made the list have affected billions of people around the world.
She said: “The women on our list, through their respective realms of power and influence, are shaping many of the agenda setting conversations of our day. They have built companies and brands, sometimes by non-traditional means, and they have broken through gender barriers in areas of commerce, politics, sports and media and cultural zeitgeist, and thereby affecting the lives of millions, sometimes billions of people.”

1. Michelle Obama, US First Lady

Clinton was transported to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan to be treated late this afternoon.
His wife Hillary Clinton was reportedly seen leaving the Oval Office but was not "in a rush," reports Fox News.
ABC News' chief political correspondent George Stephanopoulos reported that sources said he was taken to the hospital "likely for a stent procedure."
Clinton had quadruple bypass surgery at the same hospital four and a half years ago.
UPDATED: Bill's spokesperson Douglas Band just released the following statement:
"Today President Bill Clinton was admitted to the Columbia Campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital after feeling discomfort in his chest," his spokesperson, Douglas Band, said in a statement.
"Following a visit to his cardiologist, he underwent a procedure to place two stents in one of his coronary arteries. President Clinton is in good spirits, and will continue to focus on the work of his Foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts."
A stent is a metal mesh tube that opens an artery to improve blood flow. He was originally scheduled to go to the hospital on Wednesday but postponed it until Thursday, according to MSNBC. Glad to hear he's doing well!

Clinton had to cancel her meeting with Angelina Jolie due to the injury. She was supposed to join Jolie at a World Refugee Day event and present awards at the American Foreign Service Association.
"Secretary Clinton appreciates the professionalism and kindness she received from the medical team who treated her this evening and looks forward to resuming her full schedule soon," Mills said in a statement.
Clinton was reportedly treated for the fracture at The George Washington University Hospital and later released. Sadly she will have to undergo surgery in the coming week to fix the fracture.
We were so excited about the idea of Hillary and Angelina joining forces for World Refugee Day, but it looks like Angie will have to step up and present the award herself.
Wishing Hillary a speedy recovery!

He hailed Clinton as a "tough campaign opponent" who knows many of the world's leaders and "will command respect in every capital." He told the press, "Hillary's appointment is a sign to friend and foe of the seriousness of my commitment to renew American diplomacy and restore our alliances."
Obama also spoke about his plans for a new and improved foreign policy. He said, "And so, in this uncertain world, the time has come for a new beginning -- a new dawn of American leadership to overcome the challenges of the 21st century. We will strengthen our capacity to defeat our enemies and support our friends. We will renew old alliances and forge new and enduring partnerships. We will show the world once more that America is relentless in defense of our people, steady in advancing our interests, and committed to the ideals that shine as a beacon to the world: democracy and justice; opportunity and unyielding hope -- because American values are America's greatest export to the world."

When Sarandon was asked if she'd ever play Hillary, she replied, "No…At this point, to say after what's happened to her campaign and how they squandered all that money and all the different reasons her campaign fell apart, to blame it on sexism, I find so destructive to every young girl who dreams about making a difference through government.
Instead of saying, 'Look how far I've gotten and you can do it too,' and all the positive things she could have done, she's turned into such a blamer and whiner, as if that was the reason, when clearly she wouldn't have been in the position she was in if she hadn't been a woman.
To now turn around and say it was sexism I find so dishonorable and really destructive to women all over, young women all over. So I don't really respect her enough to want to play her, and I find it sad and disappointing."
We wonder what Susan thinks about Sarah Palin?

The three appeared on a promo before a WWE match saying why they're the best candidate for the job. It's funny to see them each lighten up a little and so something like this, but would be even better is to see them fight it out in the ring!

I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted. So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote — and yours — on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama? Over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name "Farrakhan" out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the "F" word to scare white people, pure and simple. How sad for a country that wanted to see the first woman elected to the White House. That day will come — but it won't be you. We'll have to wait for the current Democratic governor of Kansas to run in 2016 (you read it here first!). There are those who say Obama isn't ready, or he's voted wrong on this or that. But that's looking at the trees and not the forest. What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change. My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate. That is not to take anything away from this exceptional man. But what's going on is bigger than him at this point, and that's a good thing for the country. Because, when he wins in November, that Obama Movement is going to have to stay alert and active. Corporate America is not going to give up their hold on our government just because we say so. President Obama is going to need a nation of millions to stand behind him. What are your thoughts? Is Michael right about Obama? Wrong about Hillary?
