ABC’s Barbara Walters unveiled her choices for the “Ten Most Fascinating People of 2009″ during a special presentation that aired Wednesday evening, ABCnews.com reports.  Walters’ picks featured newsmakers from entertainment, politics, sports, and music.  First Lady Michelle Obama, “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ star Kate Gosselin, singer Lady Gaga,  former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, and the late Michael Jackson’s three children were among the people featured during the special.

Also featured were FOX News host Glenn Beck, musician Adam Lambert, filmmaker Tyler Perry, NFL quarterback Brett Favre, and South Carolina’s first lady Jenny Sanford.

Many tweeps expressed their dismay about Barbara Walters’s choices while others strongly agreed with her picks:
