See Obama's "Just Like Us" photos.

No. 2: Tom Cruise, who talked to Walters about wanting more children with wife Katie Holmes.

Of Holmes, he said. "She is just magic. And I really think that all men should celebrate their women. ... They should all jump on couches for them. ... When you find that woman, you should absolutely be unabashed about it. That's how I feel about it."

GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin took the third slot. Though Palin did not chat with Walters, The View co-host said Palin fascinated the public as she went from white-hot star to a tarnished disappointment. Her next job, which remains to be seen, will surely be closely followed, Walter said.

Look back at Sarah Palin on the campaign trail!

Actor Frank Langella ranked No. 4 for his upcoming role as President Nixon in Nixon/Frost. Walters predicts he will nab an Oscar nomination. Thomas Beatie -- a.k.a. the "pregnant man" -- was No. 5.

The rest: Rush Limbaugh (No. 6); Tina Fey (No. 7); Miley Cyrus (No. 8); Michael Phelps (No. 9); Will Smith (No. 10).
