Is Tom Bombadil mightier than Sauron?

I remember much that has since been lost…
I remember the Three Rings, that were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven were bestowed upon the Dwarf-Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings, was bound the strength and the will to govern each race.

But all of them were deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged in secret, a master ring to control all others and into this he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One ring to rule them all, to bind them all, to enslave all that lived in freedom under the stars, and bring to them the domination of the Dark Lord.

But deception breeds deception, and arrogance breeds failure. For there was one, who would not fall to the whispers of the One Ring. One being, who did not falter when confronted with the greatest weapon of the Enemy. One… to whom this plain, golden ring… was just that.
For even when wearing the One Ring upon his own finger… Tom Bombadil was the Master…
