Obama: Time Man of the Year 2008

[alchemize]

Barack Obama

Can't say I disagree with this one. Palin a more nefarious runner up

 

[Genx87]

/surprised

 

[Skitzer]

Should have been Ron Paul ........ or maybe he should have won last year?

 

[ksaajasto]

I'm pretty content with that choice... How'd Palin even get on the list?

 

[TallBill]

In one of the craziest elections in American history....

I stopped reading right there, how the fuck was this year's election crazy? Because he's black? It was the smoothest and simplest one that I've seen.

"Dramatic" would've been a better word . . .

I wonder if they considered Joe the Plumber in some pseudo-symbolic way. That would truly have caused me actual physical pain.

 

[MotF Bane]

Finally Time gets POTY right.

[nageov3t]

hasn't every president been the PotY?

 

[tvarad]

I think a mug-shot of one of Bear Sterns/Lehman Bros/Merrill Lynch CEOs would have been appropriate.

I believe Washington and Lincoln were inelligible.

at least through Kennedy (because that's when I stopped caring), looks like the only president-elect to not get Person of the Year was George H. W. Bush.

[EKKC]

my vote is on blagojevich for thug of the year though

 

[rudder]

I feel sorry for the Messiah. He has a lot of hype to live up to. Probably would have been more appropriate next year after he has actually been in white house a little bit.

/shields up.

Doesn't say much for the year , does it?

That list cracks me up. Hitler , Stalin , Khomeini yadd yadda. Seems like it's 50/50 on whether you'd wanna be grouped in with those people.

Eisenhower didn't get it when he was elected. Although he got it at other points, so did Bush.

 

[The-Noid]

Should have been Bernanke or Paulson, they had the greatest influence on the year.
