Not that I every had respect for Time Magazine but their decision to make Bernake of the year is a a cruel, sick, sad joke for all of us who can't find jobs or lost health care due to not having jobs or having to resort to dangerous black market jobs to finance their public education. And the millions and billions around the world that we know suffer because of our economic system and insatiable demand for Starbucks sugarfree nonfat decaf lattes.
Even more of joke then Obama nearly simultaneous troop deployment/acceptance of the Nobel PEACE price. There's goes my pride to brandish that blue passport. Even that men's magazine that picked the fictional character of Don Draper from Mad Men did a better job than Time.
Anyways, who would I choose for Person of the Year? Well if it was from the traditional applicant pool...what about Micheal Jackson? Or Hugo Chavez. Or the female head of Liberia Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf or that born again christian guy that controls the human genome project. Who would you all pick?

ReplyDeleteWhy are you surprised? Dubya the Shrub was named person the year in 2004...
ReplyDeleteReally you should be careful about the way the media frames arguements. This troop surge has nothing to do with weather or not Obama deserves the peace prize. Its not his war and I am [pretty sure he chose to do what he did because he is hoping it will be the least disasterous route. This is a typical media attempt to distract the public with issues that are not really issues. There are more important things to discuss involving this war, but blaming Obama for it is counterproductive and a waste of time. I hate the way people try and frame this new presidency as just another president. He is bigger then that and deserves fresh eyes.
ReplyDeleteReally? I assume that anyone who wants to run in politics is a complete scumbug regardless of any rhetoric or race etc
