He’s just a black man who got elected President of the United States, that’s all.  And he only did it be getting rich, poor, white, black, asian, conservative, Republican, Democratic, liberal, moderate and Independent voters to work and vote for him, that’s all.

Or news-stand sales. What was it Obama did this past year that impacted the world? Other than talk about it? He got himself elected U.S. president is all I know of. Maybe next year, certainly not this past year. “Time” is forever explaining that “man (person) of the year” isn’t a matter of popularity but of impact on events. Okay. Why Obama then?

As though there ever could be just one person, the very idea ridiculous from the outset.

But since “Time” insists (on this annual ad campaign), I’d say the person was Hank Paulson, or maybe al-Maliki, or maybe whoever thought to pay Sunni minority to stop shooting. Or maybe Chihuahua media insofar as it impacted thinking about events in accordance with standard agenda, which judging by CNN lately amounts to nothing more than reducing whatever might be relevant from the minimally sublime to the profoundly ridiculous. If there is such a thing as “profoundly ridiculous.”

They chose too fast!  My nomination would go to the shoe-thrower!

Peace.

The point of the annual Time magazine “Person of the Year” was not, originally, to shock, necessarily, nor should it be and that’s the case here.  So Barack Hussein Obama is this Person of the Year.  No, we’re not surprised but it’s still as is should be.  Let’s not complain just because it was obvious.
