The Bernanke has got to be pissed.
What does he have to do to get such 'respect'?
Time will make Bernanke person of the year when the US dollar collaspes.
Carl Marx would be proud of Obama's nomination. No fiscal control, no budget for years, now gun control and partisanship that never ends. Just the redistribution of the wealth should make Carl Marx come alive again. Maybe Carl Marx has risen again and is now the US President. As time passes, Time maybe right but not for the reasons cited.
Any English ZHers please check Highgate cemetry ,and report back.
Only because Christie and Clinton saved his butt.
You'd think the President would have difficulty sitting down with all those Progressive's hickies on his keister, but its really not a problem: he can just step on our necks, forever.
How much do you want to bet that even if Romney had won, that photo of Obama would still be on that cover of Time.
It looks like they are giving an artist an idea for the bronze statue of Obama that will replace Lincoln in the monument.
You know they are going to put an Obamument in Washington. If they put a statue of Tubbs Jones in Cleveland, they are going to put Obama in Washington. Then the domination will be complete.
Some things never change. "TIME" is for people who can't think. "LIFE" was for people who couldn't read and "FORTUNE" is for people who can't count. Never trust Luce or the Lucis Trust.
What is TIME magazine?
Time will be like Newsweek and be only available electonically at some time in the near future.
Hey if you could give your friends $2 Trillion out of thin air each year...you be Person of Year....Shame about the dead kids, dead ambassador, the FEMA screwups, the complete lack of preparedness in NYC for Sandy, etc. THE AMAZING TEFLON MAN!
beatings will continue until morale improves..101.
Yeah, so? They had Hitler on the cover, once. Obummer hasn't done anything extraordinary, except furthering the bankruptcy of this nation. Well, I suppose what will be excessive gun control legislation coming down the line, will be something extraordinary. But not this year.
Is he starting to look like a Jew ?
They reward their obedient puppets with "Person of the Year", "Dummy of the Month", and "My Favorite Muppet".
You are what you eat.
Choomboi B just getting his props from the lamestream.
Time's Kenyan of the Decade!!!
Only In America!
Long live the Demoncratic Rethuglic of The United Socialist Serfs of Amerika!
Let's face it, the man really is amazing. Fast and Furious - no problem, Afghanistan - no problem, no recovery - no problem, illegal campaign funds - no problemo, Jon Corzine bundler - no problem, Benghazi slaughter - no problem, etc. etc. etc.
It's good to be the king apparently.
He's a President. What's anyone going to do?
not really, presidents could be impeached and don't rule by executive order. not saying he's the only one in recent history to do that either.
None of the stuff you mentioned was executive order. Tough to see how any of them would be impeachable, either.
But my point is: PRACTICALLY speaking, Congress can't really impeach anymore. Since the Clinton fiasco, it'd be very hard to prevent it from being considered a partisan witch-hunt. Talk about unintended consequences.
This is the pose that they will use on all new American Coinage starting next year!
Gun range target printers.
He didn't win that all by himself, in reality we all won it.
congrats - where do we get our prize???
Does that mean the drones are us too?
The Person of the Year is clearly The Corporation, and it's not even close:
http://qz.com/37734/corporations-are-the-people-of-the-year-my-friend/
There are nearly 7 billion people on this planet, and this is the 'best' Time could do - we are utterly and truly fucked
Thank god he's so ineffective.
Here he is having put up a fake birth certificate, a fake selective service card, using a fake SS number, his school records sealed. Person of the year? Who is he?
Yay! It's the Dictator of Debt!
Dearest leader and his klack are the death of america! So sorry for the news. More at 10 Pm.
I cam't believe it was'nt Big Ben, Honourable Jon, The Tan Man, or Eric Holder. So many fine persons out there who debased, stolen, lied and obsfucated...
In retrospect - Man of the Year - 1984
I just puked up my breakfast.
I thought the man of the year was going to be Pelosi. Is Time a muslim magazine? Tops in corruption would go to Justice Roberts... the corporate phallus gobbling traitor.
Con Person of the centry, forget year.
Time is a magazine? I didnt know that. I thought they made Christmas albums

Newsflash: TIME's Person Of The Year as relevant as Nobel Peace Prize!
Ludicrous. Obama has done what to deserve this?
NO... FUCKING... WAY...
Time has been on the blue pills...
person of the year?
he who kills more children in a week than all the mass shootings over a year combined?
how many innocent people have died, will die as a result of his drone attacks, his UN humanitarian, kinetic military actions?
but this is Time, so with their track record I guess we shouldn't be surprised...
Consolation, Michelle did not get Playmate of the year. Proof America does still have some virtue.

Its not racist but it is funny.
You didn't build this!
It was the overlords who paved the way and provided infrastructure by wrangling the media.
Most folks posting are racist pigs that actually think Obama is the Wizard of Oz that controls everything. These postings are national scapgoatism at its worst. When Obama is gone, you'll find soneone else to blame. As I've said before, lots of criticism and no solutions offered. Really weak you ZH pseudo-intelllectuals.
Lots of solutions offered, perhaps not methods of implementation, but lots of solutions offered amongst the ranting and raving. But ranting and raving peacably can be good for the soul.
Do u shit ice cream?
Fuck non-violent shit. But be warned brothers, Utah is watching.
since when is being critical of the TOTUS racist? ZH is not a team red vs team blue website as the overwhelming majority of posters here get that there is no real difference between the two parties that rule DC.if you were hear during the elections you undoubtedly noticed there was not a lot of love for mittens going around.
and talk about pseudo intellectual? opening with the "racist pigs" blast doesn't show much for you except that you seem to have fallen nicely in line with the main stream propagandized sheeple groupthink (i.e any criticism of Obama must be motivated by race).
funny thing is many of us ZH white supremacist neo nazis take Obama to task and call him out over his drone killings and military actions in the MENA region, which as you know is filled to the rafters with white people right?
he may not be the man in charge, he has his masters to answer to, that goes with out saying, but he is still the point man for the mass murdering, job killing, thieving regime that runs DC so any hits he takes for winning person of the year are well deserved.
Were taking over, fuck you!
I love it 11 negative posts. I'm doing something right since nobody post back.
well he did get elected on the promise of change, and when he didn't produce any change , he got reelected on the same promise. he did get a peace prize before he managed two different wars. people did stop talking about w bush being the worst president ever. he signed a bill which mandates that poor americans pay insurance premiums for healthcare. he personally ordered the murder of osama bin laden, without trial, or questioning then had his body thrown in the ocean. he personally approves drone killings of american citizens. gitmo remains open for business. yes obama is man of the year, so were a lot of other worthless tyrants.
Now and then Husk wanders over to Huffpo just to read the comments and try to catch the drift of suburban, coastal, lib thought. My impression lately is that cracks may be forming in the sheepy groupthink. This is becoming more and more apparent (from a Huffpo "super user"):
I voted for him twice BUT can't help but question:
IS OBAMA A TROJAN HORSE?
Was Pres. Obama put into office to do what no Republican could ever have gotten away with?
Extended the wars
Gitmo still up and running
Extended the Bush tax cuts for the rich
Gave additional bailout money to the banks
Allowed the health insurance industry to write the healthcare bill
Extended the Patriot Act
Signed the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act)
War-on-Terror torture investigation closed WITHOUT CHARGES.
Ground was (quietly) broken for southern leg of Keystone Pipeline.
Remains in bed with Goldman Sachs, Exxon Mobile, and GE.
And
PRES. OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION IS FILLED WITH BUSH HOLDOVERS.
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, the point man on the economy, relied on holdovers from the Bush administration to shape Obama's policies, and botched his debut so badly that he helped send markets off a cliff.
Lib awakening? Can't be good news for Choomba.
Note to narcissistic tool... Look to your base idiot. You do not want to become useless to your owners.
libs, and neocons alike for the most part still operate under the faulty assumption there are actually 2 parties in the country.
one wee comment, if he'd lost the election he'd be in TIME's shit-bowl and flushed away instead
jus sayin barry
cause you aint worth a mit full of poo-tickets mate
I don't know anyone who reads or GAF about Time magazine.
To be fair, Time's definition for the award is the person or group of persons that have most influenced world affairs. It says nothing about positively or negatively influenced; just the person that has influenced world affairs the most. Since inception of the mention in 1927, it appears most US presidents have been featured but a handful.
Obongo? How imaginative! How innovative! Tyler Durden should be up there...
50 shades of grey drones. i wonder if the ayhatola of cokeacola is upset it wasnt him
After Richard Stengel from TIME magazine announced its pick for 2008 Person of the Year – President-elect Barack Obama – NBC’s First Read “took a look back to see which magazine – Time or Newsweek – won the battle of who put Obama on the cover most in 2008: Domenico Montanaro wrote on December 17, 2008:
“Time has featured Obama on its cover 14 times since Jan. 1 (2008). Newsweek was close behind, featuring the now-president-elect on 12 of its issues. Time has had 52 issues in 2008, so Obama has been featured on more than one-in-four of its covers, or about 27% of the time.
“That number, though, goes even higher if you include how many times Obama has appeared in the "skybox" -- 11 times.
“That means Obama's face or name [in the 2008 presidential election year] has somehow made it onto the cover of Time just about half of the time this year (25 out of 52 issues -- 48%).
“Newsweek has had 49 issues this year so far (through Dec. 22, 2008), so Obama has been featured on about a quarter of its covers as well.
“In contrast, the Republican nominee, John McCain, made the cover of Newsweek just four times the entire year, and twice he shared it -- once with Obama and once with Sarah Palin.”

In that Stengel once again has chosen Obama as Time’s “man,” it would be interesting to know how many times Obama and Michelle made Time’s cover during the 2012 election year as compared with Ron Paul and Mitt Romney.
Edit
r u a communist?
Past winners: Hitler, Stalin, Ayatollah Khomeni, Bernanke, Zuckerberg....
And THAT is all you need to know about the winners and those that chose them.
If they offered it to me, I would tell them to stick it up their ass. Too bad Obama and his ilk doesn't have a little character and decency about them. Just wonder if he will turn out as bad as Hitler or Stalin. I can guarantee you the man would if given the chance. What a frickin Idi Amin wanna-be.
Getting a TIME cover isn't a "win," bro. They put OJ Simpson up there too, if you recall.
Frank Marshall Davis, Jr. .......deep in thought. Does look very presidential there though. Again, his hair is greying....just like every one the recent guys to hold that office. You'd think being TPTB sock puppet would be a no-worries job, but apparently not.
It's official, TIME has run out of people.
What's "Time" magazine?
Its about time they gave Bill Cosby his due. Congrats Bill!
Was that spender of the year?
More like "Puppet of the year".
Obama has never hold a real job in his entire life. He lied and cheated his way into Chicago politics after his university studies. Oh, his college transcripts are still hidden and people who graduated the same year as Obama and people who studied the exact same programme as Obama can't recall any memories of him actually being in the school.
His father doesn't look anything like him (but Frank Marshall Davis do). Nah, fuck it. He's just a big fraud that conned the entire world.
That is weird how nobody remembers him. They say the same thing about the shooters.
I swear that's the same Obama pose shown at the end of the South Park Margaritaville episode, where Obama is credited with saving the economy.
MY GOD! this cant be
