Time Magazine did get it right in naming President Obama 2012 Person of the Year. I am proud to say I voted for his re-election.

Yes they got it right...

This man has had to endure more lies, mudslinging and downright racist nonsense than any other person of color in modern history and has led this country out of some pretty difficult times and became President for a second time.

He has crushed Bin Laden, helped remove Kadaffi (even when Republicans were against it and said Obama should be impeached).

Unemployment lower, gas prices lower, stock market from a low of 6,800 to 13,500 today, and auto industry saved.

Yes....man of the year...more like man of the last 4yrs.

Obama as man of the year? What a joke. WORST PRESIDENT EVER !!!This guy should have never been elected the first time, let alone reelected. This narcissist has usurped congressional authority with his so called dream act. As well as all the following:
No Olympics for Chicago - turned out to be a big ego trip instead

Making race relations worse - (stupidly comment- professor gates)

Fly over photo op in New York - scared New Yorkers

Selling out other nations by removing missile defense

Letting Pelosi and Reid write bills

Lack of transparency

Multiple czars with no accountability

Lying about details of his healthcare reform bill - YOU LIE!!!

Attempt to take over census

Undecided about giving military what they need to win

Association with acorn

Worldwide apology tour (this borders on treason)

Willing to bend over to our enemies while giving our allies the shaft

Wow. Time magazine is till in print? I thought they were defunct.

Absolutely! Although Malala Yousufzai is deserving of much admiration, if you're not familiar with her story you should be.

I agree Ryan and Brian...she is an amazing person....

You mean people still read TIME? Who'd a thunk it?

Now R, of course you'd make the cover of Time Magazine when you won the nobel peace prize for doing nothing more than make promises and running for office. Kind of ironic, don't cha' think?

Take heart conservatives. The following of your heroes were also named Time Magazine's Person of the Year: Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon (twice), Henry Kissinger, Ronald Reagan (twice), George H. W, Bush, Newt Gingrich, George W. Bush (twice), and Rudolph Giuliani. I hope you feel better now.:

So, basically, they see political figures as being worthy of their cover? For once, I agree with Brian - give it to someone worthy of admiration because of making personal sacrifices for no other reason than it's the right thing to do. No politician should ever get it. The possibility looms there that their motivation could be political, so in my opinion, knocks the criteria right out of the game from the getgo. It wasn't an honor for the others and shouldn't be considered much of an honor for obama either. Find a magazine that knows how to truly recognize true worth in serving mankind. Politicians are a dime a dozen.

Ted Turner? Rest my case. It's not where they've come from (used to be an excellent magazine). It's where they are going. Most people are simply being observant of that. I've always liked them, but noticed that they have become les objective and more out to appeal to certain bases in recent years. Loses credibility once that happens.

There is no denying our Country is more divided than ever, which is the perfect recipe for Big Government to continue snowballing,this as a direct result of Obama's presidency. Obama, "Man of the year"? Not hardly.
Show me a man who can unite our country, then you will have someone worthy of "Man of the year".

No, they didn't get it right. Obama is the worst possible president.

@Racer X
We have a divided political system because of the work of both parties in gerrymandering districts that favors partisanship over compromise. The other reasons are divisions produced by the media. especially talk radio. .Moreover anyone listening to Fox News vs. MSNBC can easily see the difference. This problem was caused by the law passed in the 1980's that took away the "Fairness in Media" doctrine. We just had a bad Supreme Court decision "Citizens United" that allows unlimited spending by corporations on political campaigns. Until these three major political issues are resolved, no one person can unite this country.

I agree Racer X. We have a gridlocked Congress that can't get anything done because we don't have a president who can get the two parties to reach a consensus. This is now a very divided country made that way by a president who pandered to every liberal group he could find in order to get elected ignoring the people who actually produce jobs.

George- For once you said something poignant. It is the gerrymandering from both sides. But Obama is at the helm, this is his responsibility. As far as the media goes, the MSM, your boys, are the worst violators. The rest of us are just tired of your brand of horse hockey.
Obama is the divider, he had set the boundaries, he is not, by any means, the "Man of the year".

Yup....George was on a roll with a fair and balanced post before slamming on the brakes and not mentioning that the onus is on the POTUS to provide the leadership to have both parties working in concert. Unfortunately the president has his own biased agenda and is incapable of reaching across the aisle...He has made claims that he's tried but it doesn't work with alligator arms!

Racerx said: Show me a man who can unite our country, then you will have someone worthy of "Man of the year".
Amen to that Racer X! But you and Brett both had a point in which you can't blame on congress. Obama is the first president that simply cannot compromise and/or agree with anything that doesn't fit into his dictatorial agenda. A good president knows how to unite both sides. Reagan was the best thus far at that. democrats both loved and hated him, but they completely respected him because he knew how to bargain and give in.
