Shocker: Obama Is Time Magazine’s Man Of The Year

• December 17, 2008

And the media’s love affair with The One continues, though I’ve to admit that seeing Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson as a runner-up was a bit of a shock.

NEW YORK – President-elect Barack Obama has won another contest: He’s been named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2008.
The magazine has named Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Gov. Sarah Palin and Chinese director Zhang Yimou as runners-up.

Paulson? Paulson? The guy who masterminded the financial bailout disaster? The man squandering a trillion or so dollars on failed financial companies?
The man who is keeping the public from knowing who those bailout payments are going to?
Why should he get to be man of the year?
Anyway, here’s the Time article. The headline is “Why History Can’t Wait.”
I guess the folks at Time are ready to induct Obama into the hall of fame before he even has an at-bat. Which is typical of the media isn’t it?
Unfortunately Time, which once put Adolf Hitler on the cover as “Man of the Year,” has a pretty poor track record in this sort of thing.

That makes two years in a row that a communist was Time’s man of the year.

Good call!

Obviously, since 48% of you voted McCain/White Trash Princess.

Adolescent namecalling.

DINO, you’ve got no maturity and you make the mistake of trying to tell me what I think.

Too bad you were wrong.

…where I come from and where most of us work, when someone or some group is in charge of an organization for many years and it fails miserably, that person or group gets the blame and is asked to leave.

Using that logic, this blog should ban you.

Be careful of what you say. We just might take you at your word one day and apply the same rules to you.

Now go ahead and personally insult while bringing up some off topic drivel. It’s all you’ve got.

One more reason not to buy that rag…

“Negativity, bitterness and character assassination.”

It’s hilarious that 108 even claims to be a con.

You’re the one who is always trying to con everybody, rbb.

Well the drive by media likes to point out that he is the United States’ firt African-American President. The fact that he has Islamic roots make him even more of a canidate. Letsa not forget all that he has don for our great nation thus far is, well get elected.

But the white side of his heritage thats not so impresive the white man has been running the show for years. LOL (conservative humor) I thought I would have to point that out since it seems there is a lack of it.

Too bad consertivism doesn’t have any conservatives.

The one who complains about “negativity, bitterness and character assassination” engages in such things all of the time.

Double standards are at play.

We would have neither if conservatism had its way. Most of you would still be shitting outdoors if not for liberalism.

Pure delusion. To you, freedom and liberty are “just words”; for real free Americans, they are fundamental truths about our country. The free enterprise system pays for everything in this country. Where do you think taxes come from, moron?

Still making the mistake of telling me what I think.

Some people never learn.

Your tactics refute yourself.

Too bad conservatism has no heroes.

Every free American making free choices in personal, economic, religious and political activity is a hero. You totalitarians just don’t get it. We don’t worship politicians; we consider them a necessary evil. Obama and Putin aren’t heroes, in any sense of the word.

I take it for what it is, Obama is the first black President, that should make him man of the year. As for the negative comments, I think noone should be assasinate the charachter of our President. I did not vote for Obama but he is my President and the office if not the man should be respected. Now I am not saying the office is above the law or judgement but I do think we as a people should have a little more respect for our Country and ourselves.

I was thinking “emotional maturity of a 14-year old boy”, actually.
http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/realitybasedbob/ realitybasedbob

At least I didn’t spend a year or more typing vicious drivel about how bad a candidate was and what a shit sandwich he was and how on principles I could never vote for him…and then went ahead and voted for him.

You are a liar by your own definition, without principles and a world class nit picking cherry picker too boot.

You’re a joke.

Most of you would still be shitting outdoors if not for liberalism.

From wikipedia (for what its worth)

Ruins of homes in ancient Egypt display small private, detached rooms presumably used as privies. Waste apparently was carried away by water running through man-made channels from nearby rivers.

It was left to the classical Greek and Roman civilizations to bring a degree of sanitation to the masses, or at least the upper middle classes.

Key words: “Upper middle class”, or in other words the wealthier conservatives and not the low life liberals. But I bet the libs were jealous…

Wrong robert, dino just has the brain of a 14 yr old.

The funniest thing to me was that this morning, the radio noted that he was selected for breaking all the rules. Hardly what I would hope for in the person selected to faithfully execute the laws of this country and uphold the Constitution, but I dare suggest a rare moment of candor in the Obama Media (TM).

Your only hope of refuting me is having me banned?

How sad for you.

Obviously, since 48% of you voted McCain/White Trash Princess.

Which means the rest of you voted for Obama/Hair-Plug Plagarist.

(See how easy it is to be dino? You don’t have to be intelligent, or have a point, or even know what you’re talking about–you just need to be relatively facile with words.)

An inspirational leader…

A “leader” who won’t lead his Party out of the corruption scandal that’s gripping them? A “leader” who dodges questions from reporters at press conferences? Not a leader; a follower, like Clinton.

I dunno shoe-stem, where I come from and where most of us work, when someone or some group is in charge of an organization for many years and it fails miserably, that person or group gets the blame and is asked to leave.

That’s what happened with the country and this economy. Then again, you think the reason the republicans were soundly rejected in the last 2 national elections is because the media was mean to you.

It probably would have been better for republicans if they were empty suits that could have done us no harm. Instead, the damage they visited upon us is going to reverberate for years, decades, perhaps forever.

He’s an amazing individual. An inspirational leader with a beautiful oratory who will lead us from the nightmare of conservative ignorance, neglect and economic mismanagement.

Sorry that your guy is only going to remembered as the idiot who destroyed the economy, started a war based on lies and dodged the shoes.

Point out the empty suit that is Obama, and the left attempts to redirect your attention elsewhere; mainly to their lies and libel.

Just look at this thread for the evidence.

Time’s definition of Man of the Year is “a man, woman, couple, group, idea, place, or machine that “for better or for worse, …has done the most to influence the events of the year.”"

They chose Bush twice, and they will probably choose Obama twice. Man of the Year isn’t necessarily an honorary title, hence Hank Paulson’s runner-up status.
