USA: who runs government?

I’ve been like a child with a new toy today, spending hours browsing on the Washington Post’s “Who runs gov?” pages.

The site contains up to date and interesting to read profiles of the people pulling the strings of American government. A great resource for students and teachers of American Politics.

I’ve come up with a list of 10 of the most influential politicians in the USA, some of which you will have heard of and some you won’t.

Rush Limbaugh

Patrick Gaspard

Rahm Emanuel

Harry Reid

David Axelrod

Jon Favreau

Olympia Snowe

Michael Steele

Max Baucus

Robert Gibbs
