Time Magazine's "Person of the Year"

[CatWoman]

President-elect Barack Obama has been named the Person of the Year by Time magazine.


Time's Person of the Year is the person who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill, and embodied what was important about the year, according to the magazine.


The runners-up were Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and film director Zhang Yimou, who designed the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony.


Those also acknowledged were the people who mattered. There were 17 people including, President George W. Bush, Sen. John McCain, Sen. Hillary Clinton and actor Robert Downey Jr. among others.


The issue is set to hit stands Friday.

1. I think a certain shoe hurler should sneak into the runner up catagory

before this hits the news stands.

3. Actually nobody deserves to be even runner-up. Obama is far and away the only choice

because of the historical nature of his election. Sarah Palin as a runner up? come-on.
