Here's an excerpt, I think Forbes is full of it myself:

ABC News' Kirit Radia reports: Is Hillary Clinton less powerful now as Secretary of State than she was as a Senator? Forbes Magazine seems to think so.

The publication recently released its annual list of the 100 most powerful women in the world. This year, Clinton was listed at #36. In 2004 when she was in the Senate Clinton was #5.

Since then Clinton has slipped in the Forbes rankings (2005: 26, 2006: 18, 2007: 25, 2008: 28), but this year, her first as America’s top diplomat, was her lowest ranking. Her predecessor, Condoleezza Rice, twice topped the list and was never listed out of the top 10 before leaving office.

This year Clinton was edged out by Nancy Pelosi, who was ranked #35, but she beat out Oprah (#41).

The magazine crowned German Chancellor Angela Merkel as the world’s most powerful woman for the fourth year in a row, followed by FDIC chair Sheila Bair who was ranked #2. Michelle Obama was #40, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was #48. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was #51 and newly minted Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was #55.

From 5th to 35th? Sounds like the MSM is trying to marginalize her for Obama here.

This should surprise no one. Tell the American public she is less powerful and they will believe the media, right? I was completely and utterly against Hillary taking the SoS slot simply because I don't trust Omoron. But, she is carving out a nice little slice of experience for her resume in case she does make another run for POTUS. NO ONE will be able to deny what she has and will accomplish as SoS. Well, they can try and they really are trying to marginalize her. Hopefully the American public will have wised up a bit by then.

I agree I am going to leave this article here for a little while then I am going to move it to Hatin on Hillary.  Thank you for Posting. 
I think the Media hates the fact that Hillary is one of the best Secretary of States in history. They would do anything to marginalize her.  I can't even blame that on Obama since the media have been doing this to Hillary since she was First Lady.

I felt the same way, sug.
